Starting 18 August 2013 — New Worship and Religious Education Schedule

Starting Sunday (18 August 2013), we will have a new worship and religious education schedule for Sunday morning:

  • 9:00 AM – Religious Education classes for Children, Youth and Adults — Classes and worship for all ages will begin the year with a focus on our Unitarian Universalist History, Heritage, Identity, and Theology.
  • 10:30 AM Worship for All — We will still provide nursery care for both hours, as well as an activity time during the 10:30 worship for children under 7.

In implementing this change, we are seeking to provide a more complete worship and learning experience for all our community that takes place at a time when most of us are together at the church, and to create a more intentionally multi-generational community.

Introducing BOLTS (Bearers of Light and Tradition) — 17 August 2013

BOLTSBOLTS (Bearers of Light and Tradition) training for children and youth will happen on Saturday (17 August 2013) at 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM.

Because our worship services will involve our entire multi-generational community each week, we will be seeking to involve more of our children and youth in the worship experience, in ways befitting their ages, abilities and interests. To that end, we plan to offer a training this Saturday that will cover these various ceremonial tasks of worship:

  • Lighting candles for the Principles and Sources
  • Lighting the chalice
  • Speaking into the microphone /reading the chalice words and other readings, reciting the Principles and Sources
  • Taking the offering (Serving with our adult ushers)
  • Passing out Orders of Service / Greeting our members and guests (Serving with our adult greeters)

Parents — please encourage your children and youth to take part in this session.  They will need to take the training before they can participate in the service in these ways.  We would like to make our worship services as much of a community experience as possible.  If they are interested in the training but cannot make this session, don’t worry, we will do it again.
