Sunday Worship

10:30 a.m., in person or online.

You Are Welcome Here

Sundays at 10:30 a.m.

Sunday worship is the heart of our congregational life. We come together in our sanctuary to pause, nourish our spiritual centers, honor life’s joys and sorrows, and be inspired to put our faith into action.

As Unitarian Universalists, we believe that sacred truths can be found in many different sources. Ours is a covenantal faith, meaning we commit to love one another beyond the boundaries of individual belief. Worship includes words and music from both ancient and contemporary sources, from sacred scriptures of the world’s many religious traditions, as well as the wisdom found in poetry and literature.

In Person

Regular Sunday services begin at 10:30 in the sanctuary and run mid-September to mid-June. Please join us downstairs for coffee hour after the service.

Online

We live stream our services and record them for later viewing. If you are new to our community and watch our online services, we would love to hear from you.

Summer Services

Summer services begin on the third Sunday in June and continue through Labor Day. These services are more informal gatherings, often held in conjunction with other local UU congregations through the Metrowest Summer Service Consortium.

Things to Know for Sundays

Parking

There are two parking lots on either side of the church at 11 Washington St. Additional spots are available along Sanger Street, in front of the Sherborn Library, and in front of the Sherborn Town Hall — a three-minute walk away. See the parking map.

Children & Families

Babies, children and youth are all warmly welcome in worship at all times. Most Sundays, children in Pre-K through sixth grade join worship with the whole congregation for the first fifteen minutes before going to their Faith Formation classes, which run 10:45–11:45. A nursery is available for children younger than three, and a Family Area with books and quiet activities sits at the back of the sanctuary.

Livestream

Every service is live streamed (hosted by Boxcast) and recorded for later viewing. If you are new to our community and watch our online services, please say hello using the welcome form on the livestream page.

Music

Music is a vital part of our worship service, with congregational singing, anthems from the choir, introits by the children’s choir, and instrumental music. The Meetinghouse Choir sings for Sunday services approximately every other week and for special services like Christmas Eve. Learn more on our Music page.
