We are a compassionate, welcoming community that promotes spiritual growth, ethical living, and social justice in our church and in the world.

We gather to celebrate life, to minister to one another, to shape a community that hears all our voices, honors each search for meaning, and reaches out to enrich the world with caring. Thus we live our covenant, one with another.

We are a church that celebrates the presence and participation of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people. We have been recognized by the UUA as a Welcoming Congregation. A chapter of Interweave meets in our church. You are welcome in our community!

WORSHIP SERVICES

We hope you find UUCE to be a church which helps you to find your balance, and keep it, and which helps you to live a loving life of integrity, service, and joy.

Our Minister is Rev. Stephen A. Landale

Two Worship Services
Children's Religious Education Classes
Sundays 9am and 11am
(unless otherwise stated)

Sunday May 11 at 9am and 11am
Honoring Parents and Parenting
Rev Steve Landale and Candee Cole, Director of Religious Education
~~~Join us in celebration of those who give care to children as we honor both mothers and fathers in our service today. The children and youth will join us for half of the service and the Sanctuary Choir will bless us with song...

May 18 at 9am and 11am
Return Again—Celebrating the Return of the Initiates
Rev. Steve Landale, Candee Cole, Director of Religious Education, the Coming of Age Youth and Members of the Coming of Age Committee
~~~Nineteen youth from our congregation who have been participating in the Coming of Age program have been on a symbolic journey for the past 8 months in search of their personal identity and beliefs. During this much-loved service, we welcome the initiates back to “the village,” and they will share with their spiritual community moving accounts of the experiences they had on their journey as well as their /credos/ (belief statements). The Chamber Singers will bless us with music and a special offering will be collected for Station 7, a Looking Glass homeless teen shelter.

May 25 at 11am ONLY
Only The Light Remains
Guest Speaker Rev. Ed Peara
Jeanne-Marie Moore, worship associate; Holly Garrow, anchor
~~~ "Memorial Day can celebrate the sacrifices of veterans, or memorials for deceased relatives. Losses can stir up mixed and sometimes unwelcome remembrances. But memorials bless when the heat of shattered emotions lifts and only the light of love remains."

The life of our congregation extends beyond Sunday mornings. Consider choosing how to get involved from our Calendar UUpDate, our Newsletter, the sitemap, or follow links that interest you from the tables of contents on each page.
