Worship at UUFE

"Unitarian Universalist worship is as diverse as it is important ... when UU's gather for worship, they intend to create some kind of shared and worthwhile experience." -- Handbook of Religious Services

At UUFE, this is carried out on most Sundays in a format of: Readings from sources as varied as ancient scripture to modern poetry; a traditional Chalice Lighting; sharing of Joys & Sorrows; Hymns and other Music for Meditation; and a Sermon by our minister or guest speaker. This standard format may be enlivened on any given Sunday by a more "free-wheeling" program, such as a visiting theater group; musical presentation by a guest choir; individual members sharing stories of their spiritual journeys; or perhaps an original, interactive experience created by our newly formed Worship Associates group. The common thread is our hope that all persons in attendance, whether faithful members or first-time visitors, will find inspiration and renewal.

Maybe the words of one of our favorite hymns says it best:

Here we have gathered
Gathered side by side;
Circle of kinship
Come and step inside!
May all who seek here
Find a kindly word;
May all who speak here
Feel they have been heard
Sing now together
This our hearts' own song
