We gather in worship to find meaning and live more deeply. Worship creates connections within, among, and beyond us, calling us to our better selves, calling us to live with wisdom and compassion.

As Unitarian Universalists, we pull from many faith traditions, humanist teachings, philosophy, science, and seek inspiration in art, music, writing, and our natural world.

We acknowledge that many who find Unitarian Universalism are recovering from religious trauma or seeking a community experience that allows them to leave behind former beliefs. Our congregation’s worship is dynamic, creative and welcoming. We provide meaning and value without dictating universal truths or demanding adherence to doctrine.

Elements of a typical service at UUCCHC include:

• Words of welcome
• Lighting a flaming chalice, the symbol of our faith
• A unison Affirmation of our Covenant
• Music – instrumental, vocal, recorded and in a variety of styles
• A meditation or prayer
• A time for lifting up the joys and concerns of the congregation
• Readings—ancient or contemporary
• A sermon or message given by a professional minister, a guest speaker, or a member of the congregation
• An offering, collecting financial donations for the congregation

Our Music Committee is a creative and diverse group of people who play a variety of instruments, sing in a variety of styles, and bring a variety of songs that you won’t find in our hymnal.

From time to time, worships incorporate holiday celebrations, multigenerational plays and pageants, longer musical performances, child dedications, and coming-of-age ceremonies. We offer childcare and learning programs for children and youth during the Sunday service.
