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 April is Joyful Visions. 
​Please take some time to explore our spiritual practices packet based on this month's theme.

Open Eyes, Open Heart | Sunday, April 19 | 9:00 and 11:15 a.m.​

What if the most radical spiritual act is looking closer? Religious Naturalism is a faith practice that finds the sacred not beyond the natural world but entwined into the very core of it. It is the practice of interdependence. When we ground ourselves to look closely at what is actually real, something unexpected happens — call it reverence, call it wonder, call it joy. Come ready to see differently.​​ ​​Make a donation to our Sunday offering in support of Unity's Act for the Earth Community Outreach Ministry Team.​

All of Us, Redux | Coming of Age Sunday, April 26 | 9:00 and 11:15 a.m.​
​​Livestream at 9:00 | Order of Worship | This Week at Unity​

Rev. Dr. Oscar Sinclair | Isaac Fried, Worship Associate
Coming of Age Sunday celebrates the signature yearlong journey of our ninth grade youth, transitioning from the inherited faith of childhood to the adult journey of faith, and marked by youth sharing their statement of faith or credo. Coming of Age youth, mentors, and families will be present at the 11:15 a.m. service, while both services will include a collage of voices, with religious education staff and ministers leading in joyful celebration. 
​
Coming of Age gives us a glimpse of what is to come: a Unitarian Universalism that continues to embrace our vision of a community based not on shared beliefs, but a commitment to each other, and what we can do together. ​​Make a donation to our Sunday offering in support of Zion Community Commons.​

All of Us | Easter Family Sunday, April 5 | 9:00 and 11:15 a.m. 
​Livestream at 9:00 | Order of Worship | This Week at Unity​

Rev. Dr. Oscar Sinclair | Sarah Cledwyn, Worship Associate
Jesus, in at least one version of the Easter story, died a human being and came back as a community. One vision of resurrection, in our tradition, is a community in which all of us are needed, gathered in a beloved community of mutual care and thriving.

Are we a faith of believers or skeptics? Do our joyful visions depend on what we know to be true or on what we hope to be true? Join this conversation about doubt (and faith). Make a donation to our Sunday offering in support of United Theological Seminary of the Twin Cities.
