10:00 AM Family Worship: A Story For Indigenous People’s Day
Story TBA! Our guest preacher, Rev. María Uitti McCabe, will join our family service today to tell us a story and lead a discussion on how Unitarian Universalism calls us to honor Indigenous People’s Day.
10:30 AM Worship: When History Gets It Wrong, Rev. María Uítti McCabe, Guest
From the beginning of the colonizing of this continent, the many and diverse peoples caught up in the process have struggled to understand ourselves in relation to this land. Do we belong here? How can we know? What does history tell us and who has the privilege of writing that history? In this service, the Rev. María Uitti McCabe will explore the wide ranging impacts of history’s mistakes, especially with respect to her own lineage to the island of Puerto Rico.
Rev. María Uitti McCabe is a seasoned professional speaker, pastor and a lifelong activist for social justice. She has worked as a television news producer and writer as well as a professional leadership consultant. She has served Unitarian Universalist congregations since 2012. The challenges she has faced in her life inform a ministry of compassion and love for the full range of our human experience and a practice of radical hospitality. She identifies as a Latinx elder who is multiracial, multicultural and multilingual.
October 18
10:00 AM Family Worship: Justice is a UU Value
As Unitarian Universalists, we work to be diverse multicultural Beloved Communities where all thrive. Today’s family service will focus on why justice is part of our religious tradition.
10:30 AM Worship: Domestic Violence Awareness Month
October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. With help from Safe Havens Co-Director Alyson Morse-Katzman, we will learn about how we can prevent elder abuse and intimate partner abuse, how we can support survivors, and what all this has to do with the call of our UU faith tradition. Our DRE, Lauren Strauss, and Rev. Jolie will switch places today! While Rev. Jolie teaches a class on Unitarian Universalism to our 6th and 7th graders, Lauren will lead worship alongside our guest speaker.
October 25
10:00 AM Family Worship: Justice Laboratory
It’s very nice to say that we believe in justice, but how do we actually live this out? How can we practice this in our Religious Education classrooms and in our congregation as a whole? Let’s talk about how we build a Justice Laboratory at UUCS.
10:30 AM Worship: Unitarian Universalist Mass Action
We hear from so many of our newcomers that Social Justice is one of the primary reasons for visiting our congregation. What does it mean to take action as a religious community? How do we work together as UU’s to create more peace, more justice, more love in this difficult world? Rev. Jolie and Claire Karl (they/them), the Movement Building Director at UU Mass Action, will explore these questions in worship. After worship, join Claire Karl and the Social Justice Committee for a workshop to dig deeper into how UUCS can plug into justice movement work.
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.

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.
