Sunday Worship Service

This Sunday, “Strangers & Sojourners: Why Coalition?” with Rev. Daniel Lawlor, Minister
From ancient scripture to modern times, spiritual movements repeatedly have a choice- act together or alone. This May we celebrate 64 years of the merger of the American Unitarian Association and the Universalist Church of America into the Unitarian Universalist Association of Congregations. The Civil Rights Movement and struggle over the War in Vietnam were defining realities during those early years of partnership. How does commitment to Coalition challenge and grow us- then and now? Join us this for songs, meditation for all ages, a special guest musician, and a visit from the Ossining NAACP!
Join us in person every Sunday at 10am for our hour-long service followed immediately by a coffee hour featuring refreshments and snacks. All are welcome.
View our service’s livestream, immediately followed by our virtual coffee hour.

Sundays for children and youth
Children are encouraged to join their families in the sanctuary where they are welcome to help ring the building’s bell. After the first 15-20 minutes of the service, they have the option of joining the religious exploration leader in the adjoining hall for activities and age-appropriate religious exploration. Childcare is also available for the very young. Of course, all are welcome to remain in the sanctuary for the entire service. Learn about this week’s program for kids. Explore our philosophy for religious exploration and find out more about our programming for children and youth.
