Services

Sunday services are at 9:15 am and 11:00 am from September through May. From May 16, 2010 through September 12, our summer schedule consists of a single Sunday service at 10:00 am. Our two-service schedule resumes on September 19, with religious education classes for children offered at both times.

Services last for about one hour; dress is casual and children are welcome.

Handicapped parking is available in front of the church and our facility is generally wheelchair accessible with large print hymnals and hearing aids available as needed.

Child care is provided for children up to 3 years old in the nursery. Religious education classes are offered during the 9:15 am and 11:00 am services from September through early June. A summer program is offered for children ages 3–10 from June 21 through August 30.

All services are followed by a coffee hour so we can meet more informally. If you visit us, please make yourself known so we may welcome you properly and get to know you. We have several programs to help newcomers and prospective members learn more about Unitarian Universalism and UUCWC.

Upcoming Services

September 5: “Does being a UU make a difference in the way a person goes about public service?”
Chris Blaydon
There are many things that affect the way a person goes about public service. As one who is serving as a mayor, I think the UU experience makes a big difference. Let’s examine it.

September 12: “Taoist Concepts of Water”
Rev. Charles J. Stephens
This Gathering of the Waters ceremony is an intergenerational worship service when we celebrate being together at the start of the church year. Join in our celebration when we bring samples of water from our summer travels and other events in our lives to share in a common bowl, symbolizing our community of faith. If you have found personal meaning in the water of the Delaware River, a lake or stream in a distant land, from your backyard, a pet’s bowl, or just from the tap in our home, bring it to share.

If you are interested in having a child dedication this Sunday for your child, please call the office or speak to Rev. Stephens.

September 19: “Authority and Unitarian Universalists”
Rev. Charles J. Stephens
Have you ever wondered by what authority we teach? Have you wondered who has the authority within our congregation? If you thought that that there wasn’t any authority within a UU congregation, do I have a surprise for you.

September 26: “Thank God for the New Atheists!”
Rev. Michael Dowd, speaking
Rev. Charles J. Stephens, worship associate
Rev. Dowd, whose work has been celebrated by Nobel prize-winning scientists and religious leaders alike, will share with us perhaps his most challenging prescription for how religions must evolve to serve the needs of individuals, groups, and the planet in the 21st century. Dowd will reframe the proclamations of Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, and the other so-called new atheists — not as anti-religious rants, but as prophetic urgings to come into right relationship with reality — or else. This requires us to mature from belief-based to evidence-based inspiration and guidance.
