We will host an in-person and virtual worship service on Sunday, September 26th at 10:15 am.

The Possibility of Connection is Everywhere
We’re living in a multiplatform pandemic world with some of us in-person and some of us virtual for worship services, family gatherings, work meetings, and more. We are having to maneuver the circumstances under which we visit with family, friends, and colleagues. It can be exhausting. This week you are invited to take a pause from all the planning and think about each of these moments, in-person or virtual, as a moment of connection. You are invited to think of connection as love. How might we pause to recognize the love expressed through our connections with each other whether it is in-person, online, or a combination of both? How might we pause to really connect with that which is larger than ourselves: with nature, with community, with the divine?

A few important notes about participating in-person:

1. Everyone over 2 in and around the UCE building will need to be masked.
2. We will maintain physical distance, which means, chairs will be spaced apart and seating is limited in the sanctuary to 120. We will have overflow seating in room 3 (25) and room 6 (20), to participate in the service through the livestream. Beyond this, there will be seating outside the sanctuary on the south lawn.
3. Please review our UCE Guidelines for Building Use before Sunday.

Please submit your Joys and Sorrows through this online form. If you submit a message by 9 am, we will try to read it that Sunday. Thank you for your patience as we are adapting to best serve you all! Note there will only be one service time so that we can gather together as a whole community of faith. You can still give to the shared offering through “text to give,” mail a check to the office with “shared offering” in the memo line, or go to our website and hit “give” on the upper right or click here. This Sunday’s shared offering recipient is Deborah’s Place.
