"For where two or three are gathered together in my name,
I am there in the midst of them."
Sunday Worship
Sunday worship at Union Congregational United Church of Christ provides a multi-generational connection to God's Holy Spirit living in our midst. This is the focal point of our faith community and how most people first find their way into the church. We pray that all who worship with us will be drawn closer to God, find strength and meaning for their lives, and discover mutually supportive friendships in Christ.
Our minister, Rev. Dr. Dana Mann is dedicated to open hearted, thoughtful, relevant messages that apply our faith traditions and scriptures to today's world. An "open communion," to which all are invited, is celebrated on the first Sunday of the month.
We are blessed to have "four generations" worshipping together. We share a variety of music styles and welcome guest artists and groups during the year. The Senior Choir sings three Sundays a month, usually at the 10:45 service. The Choristers (Children's Choir) and the adult Hand bell Choir each participate once a month.
We provide children's activity bags, books, and scripture-related children's bulletins. There is a special time for children during each service. We want our children to feel welcome. Child care is available in the nursery for the younger children.
Large print bulletins are available from the ushers. An elevator provides wheel-chair accessibility to all levels of our facility including restrooms with full access and infant changing tables.
