Services
What to Expect
Each service contains instrumental and vocal music, a 15- to 20-minute message, a joys, sorrows and concerns ritual, 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.

Upcoming Services
November 2025
Spiritual Theme Nurturing Gratitude.
Nov 2:
Rev. Kristina Spaude
"Grief and Gratitude."
Today is All Souls Day, according to the Catholic Church, and yesterday was All Saints Day. Although we UUs don't hold the same theology around these days as Catholics, this is generally a time of year when people acknowledge and remember their loved ones who have died. This morning we'll consider the connection between grief and gratitude.
Nov 9:
Rev. Kristina Spaude
"Nurturing Gratitude."
This service will invite us to consider practices on nurturing gratitude, this month's spiritual theme.
Nov 16:
Rev. Kristina Spaude
"In Gratitude of Stories."
Our lives are changed and shaped by stories. Today we will celebrate the stories we have loved, including an opportunity to exchange books during a book communion. Please bring a book that you loved as a child, youth, or adult to share with someone in the congregation.
Nov 23:
TriUU board President Cindy Grossman
"Don't Let the Perfect be the Enemy of the Good."
Why are we constantly bombarded with messages to achieve our perfect body, conform to the “perfect male standard”, find our perfect partner, go on a perfect trip to paradise after performing perfect work? How is perfection aiding the patriarchal, white supremacist, commodification of life in our country, our organizations and our relationships? Choosing to live authentically may be the ultimate act of resistance! It is time to make the case for the good enough!
Nov 30:
Rev. Dr. Tracie Barrett
"We're in this Together."
We, as humans, need one another to survive. Now, more than ever, we need to build support networks in our communities to help one another face the struggles in our world. Rev. Dr. Tracie Barrett will discuss how mutual aid networks are vital.

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 Universalist and also on zoom. Please see the Home page for details and links.
We sing traditional hymns, gospel, folk tunes and more, in multi-part harmony. The Choir rehearsals will be set by our new director. Everyone who enjoys singing is encouraged to join!
Here is a growing collection of Tri-UU choir videos:
Most are performed by our former music director, Donna Kagan, and Tri-UU Choir members with music arrangements and editing by Frank Kelly. Enjoy!
