This fall our Sunday worship series is designed to lean into the roots and wings of our larger church family – The United Church of Christ. To stay grounded and hopeful in the anxious climate leading up to election day, we will rely on the network of relationships that we share with other progressive Christians. And keep our focus on the good we can do rather than being sabotaged by fear, anger or despair.

For years, the United Church of Christ has offered a worship planning calendar. Rather than having one overarching theme, the worship calendar lifts up the vast array of special needs within our diverse congregations. Here is a listing of annual special ministry needs: American Indian and United Samoan Ministries; Children’s Sabbath; World Communion (including the Neighbors in Need All Church offering); Disabilities and Access Sunday; UCC Higher Education Day and All Saints Sunday. We will be doing our own version of special ministry needs. Drawing from the UCC worship planning calendar.

Know that our gathering to worship on Sunday mornings will continue to be relevant, comforting, supportive and inspirational.
