Worship Services at Unity Church

Our building is currently closed in response to the Covid-19 pandemic. Multigenerational Sunday services are being live-streamed from the Sanctuary at 10:00 a.m. Please join us. Services are being recorded and may be viewed at your convenience following the live stream.  CLICK HERE for past services.

After the service, whether this is your first time with us or you've been here all your life, you’re invited to participate in a virtual Zoom coffee hour, where we share a bit of our lives with each other and get to know one another more deeply. Stay for a few minutes or stay up to 45 minutes to connect in smaller break-out rooms. Unity Church staff and volunteers lead the sessions, and will suggest questions both light-hearted and deep for discussion. Please CLICK HERE to participate in the Zoom coffee hour.

If you would like to participate in Finding Yourself at Unity, a weekly way for newcomers to connect and learn about Unity Church and Unitarian Universalism, please CLICK HERE for details.

Each Sunday, through the work of the Generosity Ministry Team, seventy percent of the offering is placed in the hands of the chosen community non-profit recipient. The remaining thirty percent goes to support of the Community Outreach Ministry at Unity Church. Offering recipients for each Sunday are listed below the Sunday service description. CLICK HERE to make a donation.

June 6: Upended and Awakened
Livestream: https://youtu.be/7UhCG9NueBM
Perhaps in this historical moment of inflection, infection, and insurrection is a deepening self-awareness and search for new identity as a people and nation. An emerging moral and spiritual ethos that can acknowledge the rupture rather than simply trying to stitch our future to the familiar past, and help us to imagine the world anew as other awakenings have done. How does the life of faith awaken us, so with scales fallen from our eyes, we can make our way through this liminal period of unsettled lives and social transformation? Rev. KP Hong and worship associate Nate Solas explore awakening as a people of faith.

June 13: The Freedom to Lament
Livestream: https://youtu.be/pNRPYJFmAV0
The formal and public gestures of a lamentation verify the fact of our losses. The act of lamenting can be a spiritual discipline. Its practice can shape us in surprising developmental paths. Our guest preacher, the Rev. Karen Hutt, assisted by worship associate Merrill Aldrich, will explore the power of personal and communal lament through historical and contemporary examples. Rev. Hutt currently serves as adjunct minister at First Universalist in Minneapolis, and vice president for student formation vocation and innovation at United Theological Seminary of the Twin Cities.

June 20: Until Father Gets Home
Livestream: https://youtu.be/Jh3nI905QzY
Umberto Eco wrote, “I believe that what we become depends on what our fathers teach us at odd moments, when they aren’t trying to teach us.” Fathers are traditionally thought of as a provider and protector. Unity Church member Mike Huber and worship associate Brian Newhouse explore how we are shaped by those who played those roles — or didn’t or couldn’t — in our own lives. And what could we learn if they move beyond those roles, not to teach us, but to care for themselves?

June 27: Beyond Our Walls: Worshipping with UUs Worldwide
Livestream: This link will be sent by email and available on Unity's homepage on Sunday morning, June 27.
On the last day of General Assembly, the annual gathering of the Unitarian Universalist Association, we will join many thousands of other Unitarian Universalists in an online worship service led by our faith siblings across the river at the First Universalist Church of Minneapolis. We will livestream the service at our usual worship time and hope you will join in this largest annual worship gathering of Unitarian Universalists. ​
