HAPPENING EVERY WEEK AT UPUCC
Sunday Worship 10:30 am - In person, and online here
As always, children are welcome in worship. Families come to worship together. After the Children's Moment, children and adult leaders enjoy a brief lesson together then dismiss to build healthy friendships in outdoor play (or indoors, depending on the weather). Youth Group meets most Sundays at 12 pm.
Adult Education Forums: Most Sundays at 9am in the church library and online - all are welcome!

Saturday Meditation Group online (most) 2nd Saturdays 10 am
Practiced for centuries and is well-known for its many benefits, meditation can reduce stress, lower blood pressure, reduce anxiety, increase compassion, and more! UPUCC is carrying on this ancient practice- each first Saturday of the month at 10 am, for one hour. We enjoy this time out from busy-ness to focus and redirect our minds, and invite you to come join us. Absolutely no experience required. Contact Joanne Kennedy Frazer if you would like to be part of this monthly group.
If you've missed our virtual worship services, you can find the videos here.
“Masks Optional”
- to be respectful of the diversity of choices made by individuals within the Congregation
- encouraging any who have not yet taken full advantage of vaccinations to do so
- and requesting that any who have been exposed to COVID please test negative before returning to church.
At the Coordinating Council’s October 20, 2022 meeting, after a lengthy discussion while reviewing the Covenant Partner Surveys, a decision was made to move to ‘masks optional.' We do so reminding all:
Should a significant surge in cases occur in the area, we will move to ‘masks recommended.’
We will continue to offer streaming options for any who feel too compromised to return to in-person worship.
Many thanks to all who participated in the recent survey which allowed us to choose policies that best reflect the will of the entire Congregation.
