UU COMMUNITY WORSHIP

March’s Ministry Theme: “The Practice of Paying Attention”

11 a.m. Sunday, March 8, 2026
Rev. Tim Temerson

Religion is often understood in terms of belief and having faith in a creed or a particular sacred text. Today’s service will focus on a different approach rooted in listening, humility, and the power of paying attention.

Those joining via Zoom are welcome to stay after service until 12:30pm for Zoom “Coffee Hour”.

Religious Education Sunday, March 8, 2026

Nursery care is provided for our littlest UUs concurrent with the worship service. This Sunday we will be exploring “My World Has Birds” and celebrating the beauty of our natural world as we anticipate the arrival of spring!

Spirit Play (4 year-olds through 1^st grade) will be hearing the story “Butterfly Friends”, which teaches compassion for the world as we look forward to the coming of spring! As always, we will have time for the children to explore the message of the story using a variety of material and a little snack.

2^nd-4^th grade class: This session of “Growing Anti-Racist UUs” is called “Remembering the Past” and helps our younger elementary children be aware of human rights as promised in this country’s founding principles. This session ties into the principles of respect for the inherent worth and dignity of every person, offering fair and kind treatment to others (red and orange in the Rainbow Chalice as well as insisting on peace and justice (indigo). The session explores the injustice toward children and families when freedoms and human rights are taken from them.

5^th & 6^th grade class: Our upper elementary class centers on the UU Rainbow Chalice and helping activities that we can do to make the world a more peaceful and loving place. Come have fun with your friends and live your UU values!

Our Whole Lives (7-9^th grade) meets at their regular time.

YRUU (senior high youth group) is meeting with Rev. Leia to plan the worship service they will be leading for the congregation on March 15!
