Services will be in person and live streamed on Zoom for the foreseeable future
Services
What to Expect
Each service contains instrumental and vocal music, a 15- to 20-minute message, an opportunity to express joys and sorrows, an offering, a story relating to the message, and a period of meditation or prayer. The Sunday service begins at 9:00 a.m. and lasts 60 minutes, followed by a period where people may respond to the message of the day.
Each service begins with the lighting of our flaming chalice, a distinctive symbol of UU.
The design originated during WWII as a symbol on documents given to refugees who fled without their identification papers.
NOTE: Participation via Zoom is provided, in-person attendance is a richer experience. Please follow your own counsel on this.

Celebrating Fertility of Heart and Mind: A Beltane Celebration
The pagan holiday of Beltane halfway between the spring equinox and the summer solstice is a celebration of fertility. Today we broaden the idea of fertility to think of not just the fertility of the earth and of animal and human bodies but also of the fertility of our hearts and minds in bringing more love and new ideas to our world.
May 12, 9:00 am
Rev. Cynthia Snavely
Family is Hard
Committing to other people is a hard task. We will not always agree with a partner. Our children may challenge us. It is love that enables us to stay through it all.
May 19, 9:00 am
Rev. Beth Miller
Principled Relationships
What do both our UU First Principle of honoring the worth and dignity of all persons and the proposed revisions to Article II of the UUA Bylaws with love at the center call us to in this era of deep and growing polarization? Is it possible to navigate relationships with family members, friends and colleagues whose political or religious beliefs we vehemently disagree with and how might we get there?
May 26 We Remember Them
Rev. Cynthia Snavely, recorded
On this Memorial Day weekend, we remember our ancestors, particularly those who worked to make a better world for us.
Service Inspirations
Our worship services focus on a wide variety of religious, philosophical, personal, and social issues. Although each service is different, we gather weekly to consider, individually and collectively, that which we hold of highest worth. For some, it’s the community; for others, it’s the natural world; and for still for others, it’s a sense of some sort of something beyond our imagination.
Our inspiration comes from a variety of sources: the wisdom of world religions, teachings from humanist and earth-centered traditions, words and deeds of prophetic people, and the direct experience of individuals.
Our principal service is on Sundays at 9:00 a.m., at Tri-County Unitarian Universalists Center and also on zoom. Please see the Home page for details and links.
