Sunday Worship Services 

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. Multigenerational Sunday services are held in-person at 9:00 and 11:00 a.m., and via  livestream at 9:00 a.m. only. Services are led by ministers, worship associates, and our music ministry. On Sunday, May 29, we begin our summer service schedule with just one service at 10:00 a.m. each week.

In the 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 Laura Park at laura@unityunitarian.org 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.

As we embark on this shared ministry, we are moving into a much-anticipated but ultimately unknowable future. It is a moment that calls us to choose one another freely, as minister and community. How can we make this journey joyfully? And what might we be willing to risk as we do so? Musicians: Unity Singers, Unity Children's Choir, Laura Potratz (organ), Ahmed Anzaldúa. ​Make a donation to our Sunday offering in support of Circle of Peace.

​Livestream at 9:00 a.m. only • Order of Service • This Week at Unity

Are you feeling a little scattered after these past couple of years? All of the uncertainty, struggle, and change have left many of us feeling like the center of our lives, individually and collectively, has been ripped out and replaced with... what, exactly, we're not sure. What will it take for us to reassemble our hearts, minds, spirits, and community into a force for love, joy, and integrity in our world? And what is our role in that work? Rev. Hannah Roberts Villnave and worship associate Richard Lau will lead this service. Make a donation to our Sunday offering in support of Freedom School.​

​Livestream at 9:00 a.m. only • Order of Service • This Week at Unity

One traditional role assigned to mothers has been that of teaching children how to hope (whereas father had the traditional role of grounding children firmly in reality). But is hope necessarily the opposite of reality? Is there more than one kind of hope (and which kind belongs to mothers)? Rev. Dr. Kathy Hurt, worship associate Merrill Aldrich, and Director of Music Ministries Ahmed Anzaldúa explore the multiple facets of hope and where our mothers figure into our learning about hope. Make a donation to our Sunday offering in support of Doing Good Together.

This year, our annual music Sunday is a reflection on the loss and change that we have experienced in the last two years, featuring performances of the Requiem by Gabriel Faure in the service at 9:00 a.m. and the Requiem by Maurice Durufle in the 11:00 a.m. service, performed by Unity's choirs with a chamber orchestra. Between the two services there will be a musical program featuring Unity's Women's Ensemble, Youth Choir, and Children's Choir. ​
