Worship

Worship at NUUC

In keeping with the Universalist tradition of hearing the spiritual voice of all  congregants, NUUC schedules our minister to give three sermons per month with the other Sunday services led by laypersons from the congregation or outside speakers and ministers.

The content and format of services vary considerably.  We recommend that visitors come back several times to get a full appreciation of how we worship at NUUC.  To get a sense of the sermon messages, we have archived selected past sermons.  Learn more about Our Traditions and A Typical Year at NUUC. 

Children participate in our religious education program and children’s chapel.  Learn more about our Children’s Religious Education program.

        On Debt: Whose Are We?  How our long culture around the concept of debt has intersected with religion, and keeps us from spiritual wholeness, especially in times of economic crisis.

Since March 2006, NUUC has put MP3 versions of selected sermons on this website.  These are also available on CD and are produced after they are ordered at the CD request station at the church in Fellowship Hall (behind the sanctuary).  The cost is $3.00 per CD.  Selected Past Sermons are available on-line.
