Sunday Worship Services 

Services are held each Sunday in the Sanctuary at 9:00 and 11:15 a.m. ​The 9:00 a.m. service is also offered via livestream.

Sunday worship at Unity Church is a cornerstone of our religious community. It is where we envision and create a new reality for a better world and it allows us to come together for community and deepen our individual spirit. Services are led by ministers, worship associates, and our music ministry. 

In Parish Hall after both services you are invited to peruse information about upcoming opportunities and events at Unity Church. The Bookstall will also be open and the Congregational Care table will have cards for you to send to those mentioned in the embracing meditation. Unity's Anderson Library and Children's Library are also open every Sunday. 

If you are joining us virtually for services, please stop by for a visit at Zoom coffee hour, a time of informal conversation with church members and friends. Please email Philippa Anastos at [email protected] for the link to join each Sunday when the service livestream ends.

On Sunday join us for Finding Yourself at Unity, a weekly way for newcomers to connect and learn about Unity Church and Unitarian Universalism.

Defiantly Rooted | Sunday, October 18 | 9:00 and 11:15 a.m. ​
​Livestream at 9:00 | Order of Worship |  This Week at Unity​

Audrey McCannn | Sarah Cledwyn
Whether due to natural disaster, violence, or harmful family dynamics, home for many of us can feel more like a place we run away from instead of a refuge we return to. When “home” becomes complicated, do we uproot to become tumbleweeds or do we stretch out to find healthier soil? This service will explore roots, trauma, and love — and invite us to remember home is something we create together. ​Make a donation to our Sunday offering in support of the Minnesota Interfaith Coalition on Immigration.

Wings | Sunday, October 25 | 9:00 and 11:15 a.m. ​
​Livestream at 9:00 | Order of Worship |  This Week at Unity​

Rev. Dr. Oscar Sinclair | Meg Arnosti 
“It’s my home/ one night I dreamt that I grew wings/ and found a place/ where they can hear me when I sing” writes singer songwriter Josh Ritter. Homes are a launching place into what comes next, and as we move into our next theme of disorientation, we reflect on the homes we have come from and the lessons we carry because of them. ​Make a donation to our Sunday offering in support of the Unity's Justice in the Middle East Community Outreach Ministry Team.

Wayfarers. For Good. | Sunday, October 4 | 9:00 and 11:15 a.m.
