Every week, we gather.
We come with full lives and complicated weeks, with gratitude and grief, with questions and conviction. Worship at UPC is where all of that is welcomed, brought into the presence of something larger than ourselves, and shaped by scripture, music, prayer, and one another.
Our services are traditional but never stiff, rooted in the liturgical rhythms of the Christian year, alive with choral music and congregational singing, and anchored each week by thoughtful preaching.
Summer Sunday Morning Schedule (mid May-mid Sept.)
10:30 am – Worship in the sanctuary, with livestream available.
Nursery care available for younger children during worship.
About Worship at UPC
Worship is a vital part of our life together. Our worship is:
- Traditional: We follow the same basic worship structure each week, with scripture reading, prayers, liturgy, and an affirmation of faith. Our clergy wear robes to lead worship.
- Musical: We love singing together! We sing hymns accompanied by an organ, and our chancel choir sings sacred choral music.
- Liturgical: We follow the Christian calendar and observe seasons such as Lent and Advent.
- Thoughtful: Each service is thoughtfully prepared with the morning’s scripture and theme in mind, and the sermons offered are thought-provoking and encouraging. We’ve been known to throw in some creative elements, too!
- Intergenerational: All ages are welcome and included. Worship bags are available for our younger worshipers, and there is a “Time with Children” offered during the service when all children are invited forward and led in learning by one of our worship leaders.
- Inclusive: All are welcome to worship. We welcome individuals of every age, race, nationality, gender identity and expression, ability, sexual orientation, and economic circumstance to participate fully in the life of the church.
- Centered on grace: We believe in and proclaim the good news that God is love, and that love is for everyone.
