Sunday, September 20

All Ages Services at 9:30 and 11:15 a.m. in the chapel and via live stream

Aria Curtis, our Director of Family Ministry, along with Rev. Victoria Poling and Rev. Jeremiah Kalendae, will lead the services. Music by the All Voices Choir, under the direction of Elliot Weeks; Cally Lindenmier, mezzo; and Dwight Beckmeyer, piano.


Blessing of the Backpacks

This Sunday will be our first All Ages Worship of the 2026–27 program year. In what has become an annual September tradition, all ages will explore what we might need to carry with us to meet all of the complexity of the coming year. Everyone is invited to bring a bag or backpack with them, something they carry with them on a regular basis, to be blessed by the community. 


Once a month during the program year, usually on the third Sunday of the month, our entire church community gathers for All Ages services: meaningful, vibrant, and engaging multi-age worship. These services often include stories, embodied spiritual practice and ritual, and easy-to-sing music.


As usual, the Soul Work Table and Fidget Cart will be available in the back of the chapel. We will also have our Prayground set up at the front of the chapel, with additional materials for children to engage with the service topic in hands-on and tangible ways.


Childcare for the youngest children will be available, as usual, in the Children's Suite during both services.


Sunday worship at UUC includes music, reflection, sermon, and connection, with informal Coffee & Conversations afterwards in Nathan Johnson Hall. UUC Worship Services are also live streamed.
