What is Your Ministry
Members of CCLAM

Ministry is the vocation of every person in our congregation as we think, work, and share in the common responsibility of our mission: “We are a diverse spiritual community that touches hearts, changes lives, and transforms the world.” Find out how you too are a minister as you contribute and participate in the life and work of UUSIC, truly a Shared Ministry.

Tending the Garden
Rev. Steven Protzman

 

As we’ve worked together to live out our mission and vision, tending our spiritual garden, we’ve achieved a lot in our second year together! In my second annual “spiritual state of the union” address we will reflect on our life and work as a religious community and explore how we will continue to walk together on our journey of shared ministry.

So Much Beauty
Rev. Steven Protzman

 

Rebecca Parker asks: “What shall we do with all this beauty?” As a community of all ages, we will gather for our annual celebration of flower communion. This tradition, created by Norbert Capek in Czechoslovakia in 1923, invites us to see the beauty all around us, in each other and in the world. Please bring flowers to share for this festive service.

SUNDAY SERVICES
 

Services September through May

Summer services, June through August
 


Sunday morning is a high point of the week for many of us as we -- family and friends -- come together with our minister, our choir, and some two dozen dedicated teachers from our Religious Education program.

 

Children older than four participate in the first portion of the Sunday service, during which they hear a story (which often leads to future discussion around the family table) and listen to the special music for that Sunday service before leaving for their religious education classes.

 

Sunday Services - September through May

  • During the academic year, we have Sunday services at t 9:30 AM and 11:15 AM (with a few exceptions, which are noted on our home page and online calendar, as well as in our newsletter, the UU News).

  • Children are welcome! We provide free child care for infants and children through age 2, preschool for children age 3 through 5, and religious education classes that your older children may attend if they wish. Your children are also welcome to stay with you during the service.

Lifespan Religious Education (RE)
for infants, children, and young adults

9:30 AM to 12:30 PM Child care provided for infants and toddlers through age four
9:45 AM to 10:45 AM Childcare and multi-age children’s programming
11:30 AM to 12:30 PM Religious education programming

We also invite you to join us for coffee and conversation from 10:30 AM to 11:00 AM in Channing Hall on Sunday.

Sunday Services - June through August

  • During the summer, we have one service at 10 AM each Sunday. Our summer services are lay-led, less formal, and are held in Channing Hall, in the lower (and cooler!) level of our building.

  • Multi-age religious education classes are available for children age K-6th grade on summer Sundays, and we provide free child care for infants and children through age 2.

  • We also invite you to join us for lemonade at 11 AM in Channing Hall on Sunday.
