WORSHIP SCHEDULE

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.

Details of the upcoming Sunday service are posted at https://www.uusharon.org/oos/ by Saturday morning.

Family Service 10 am- Divnity and Where it Lies

What is divinity and where is it to be found? According to an ancient Hindu legend, it is hidden somewhere quite close. 

Adult Service 10:30 am- “Enduring Lessons on Conflict and Conflict Transformation from the Bhagavad Gita” 

What does the ancient Hindu Epic, the Bhagavad Gita, believed to have been written in 3000 B.C. have to say about conflict and conflict transformation? The sermon is an attempt to analyze and explain Krishna’s claim that at the root of all conflicts is spiritual conflict. Is this true? And if so, what is our role in conflicts and eventually, in transforming conflicts?

Family Service 10 am- This I Believe

What are some of the best moments in life? What helps you get through a challenge? What is something you believe in with all of your heart? In this service, we offer a twist on the 10:30 credo service by exploring some credo-type questions of our own and sharing as we are moved.  

Adult Service 10:30 am -This I Believe
It’s a beloved annual tradition here at UCS: our Credo service. With Credo statements delivered from the heart to us by UCS members Sue Mooney and Wilbur Edwards (yes, coming all the way from the Cape to share with us!). Rev. Jolie will lead the service, sharing the pulpit with Sue and Wilbur.

Family Service 10:00 am –What does Martin Luther King Jr. have to do with Hinduism?

In this second of two services touching on elements of Hinduism, we will explore the connection between Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr., and Henry David Thoreau and see that nonviolent social change is a value that Unitarian Universalism shares with Hinduism.

 

Adult Service 10:30 am – For Our Children’s Children –Deborah Weiner, preaching


We live in an increasingly complicated world where our families and children are challenged by a myriad of ‘surprises’ – viral, intellectual, moral, environmental – and more.  How can we, as people of faith, support and nurture our children, youth and families so that our most precious resources are sustained and supported into a glorious future?

A thought to begin:
“Always remember that your father never sold his country.  You must stop your ears whenever you are asked to sign a treaty selling your home…This country holds your father’s body.  Never sell the bones of your father and mother.”  
Tiwi-teqis (Old Joseph, leader of the Nez Perce tribe)
