Sunday Worship Services 

​In-person services are held each Sunday at 9:00 and 11:15 a.m. The 9:00 a.m. service is 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.
The worship theme for January is Break Open. Please take some time to explore our spiritual practices packet based on this month's theme.

Broken Open by Love | Sunday, January 18 | 9:00 and 11:15 a.m. 
​Livestream at 9:00 | Order of Worship | This Week at Unity​

Rev. Dr. Oscar Sinclair | Charlie Caswell, Worship Associate
Love breaks us open, not always in a single supernatural moment, but in a slow accretion of changes.  When we love, we loosen our grip on the self; what is good becomes more than just what is good for me. In love, we become the best versions of ourselves, together. Make a donation to our Sunday offering in support of The Jeremiah Program.

​On Story Sundays, children in grades 1-8 begin in worship with the congregation in the Sanctuary.

​Livestream at 9:00 | Order of Worship | This Week at Unity​

Amy Brunell, Hallman Ministerial Intern | Chris Russert, Worship Associate
At pivotal moments in life, when change is no longer optional, we are confronted with a profound question: How do we find the courage to step into a new way of being? Let’s explore the threshold moments when we choose to move toward transformation rather than retreat from it —allowing ourselves to be broken open, and forever changed. Make a donation to our Sunday offering in support of The Good Acre.

Broken Open by Joy | Sunday, January 4 | 9:00 and 11:15 a.m.​
​​Livestream at 9:00 | Order of Worship | This Week at Unity​

Rev. Dr. Oscar Sinclair | Ollie Stocker, Worship Associate
Sorrow endures for the night but joy comes with the dawn, writes the psalmist.  Moments of joy, whether quiet moments over a cup of coffee, or life changing moments like the birth of a child, can open us to new experience and leave us transformed.  As we begin a new year in an icy season, how can we cultivate our capacity for transformation?​ ​​Make a donation to our Sunday offering in support of Unity's Evergreen Quilters.​

Broken Open by Grief | Sunday, January 11 | 9:00 and 11:15 a.m. 
​Livestream at 9:00 | Order of Worship |  This Week at Unity​

Rev. Dr. Oscar Sinclair | Veronica Nordeng DeVillez, Worship Associate
“No one ever told me that grief felt so like fear.” C.S. Lewis’s A Grief Observed, is a firsthand account of the months after his spouse’s death.  In it, the 20th century theologian grapples with what it means to feel truly lost, unable to depend on the beliefs and certainties that shaped his life. Moments of grief change us, creating a dividing line in our stories between the time before, and the time after loss. ​Make a donation to our Sunday offering in support of Project Home.
