Sunday Services
Worship services at the Unitarian Church of Sharon are currently both in person and on Zoom. Our in-person services are mask-optional in a ventilated sanctuary.
Details of the upcoming Sunday service are posted at https://www.uusharon.org/oos/ by Saturday morning. If you’d like to attend virtually, navigate to this page on Sunday mornings and use the link below – or click the Watch Live button in the blue banner of this or the Home page.
10:30 am Worship Service From September through June we have a regular church service from 10:30 – 11:30 am which is followed by a time of fellowship. All ages are welcome at this service although we do have a service geared especially for families with children in grades 8 and under. See below for details. About once per month, we combine these two services into one 10:30 intergenerational service, usually for special occasions such as holidays and holy days.
10 a.m. Family Service Our interactive family worship services support parents and children in talking with one another about Unitarian Universalist values. We explore big topics and ask big questions. We make meaning through dialogue and are encouraged to continue the conversation beyond worship. Watch this space for upcoming topics.

If you had a sit spot in nature, and maybe you do, this is what you might hear, how you might feel, and what you might be grateful for. Let’s celebrate Earth Day by listening to what th Earth has to say every day.
10:30 AM Worship: I Tried Not Trying, Rev. Ken Reeves, Guest Minister
“Try not to try,” Zen Buddhism advises its practitioners. When that does not work, Zen suggests: “Quit trying not to try.” When all else fails: “Quit quitting.” But what about being in control of one’s life — “the master of my fate; the captain of my soul”? This service will explore the tension between quitting and controlling and describe the spiritual experience.
