All-Community Worship

​WORSHIP is a time of gathering for our congregational family; a time to set apart to lift up what is worthy, a time to feel at home. Worship is more than a Sunday service. It allows us time to live our religious principles by appreciating and encouraging each other’s free and responsible search for truth and meaning. Worship is a part of EVERYONE’S religious education.
UCH offers several ALL-COMMUNITY WORSHIP services in the sanctuary throughout the church year. These services are deliberately planned to bring together adults, children and youth, allowing our whole church community to worship together.

Worshipping with children is important for many reasons.

• It gives young children the experience of seeing what adults do when they worship and offers an example of reverence and respect for worship, which they can later emulate.
• Being able to worship in the sanctuary- for the whole service- is often an important clue to figuring out what our religion is all about.
• It provides one of the only avenues for interaction between older and younger members of our church community.
• It provides opportunities for younger members to become familiar with and understand of liturgy, values and norms.
• It provides busy families ways to spend meaningful time together that will spur them on to further sharing and conversation.

Our commitment to All-Community Worship Services will help all
our members, young and old, to define what is sacred and spiritual in their lives- and that is what being a faith community is all about. Check our newsletter, The Touchstone, to find out the dates of these special worship services and please plan on attending with your family.
