Sunday Worship Service 10:30 am chalice

October 26, 2014: "Participation Service"

Dick Park, with Linda Haumann, Worship Associate

 

The Participation Service has its roots in the Quaker Meeting. There is quiet music and introductory words at the beginning, and quiet music at the end, but in between, the silence is broken only by individuals sharing thoughts and feelings that are significant to them.

 

Contemplative Service 9 am  chalice

Leaders:

 

10/26/14 June Fesler 

 

UUCM's early Sunday morning 9 am Contemplative Service in the Fireside Room is a lay led service.  Readings introduce a silent period to reflect on a topic or idea, followed by an opportunity to share individual thoughts.  

 

Come and widen our circle. All are welcome!  

Questions, email Carol Kerr at drckerr@pacbell.net.
