Upcoming Services and Sermons
We gather together on Sunday morning 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. Most of our Sunday services are led by our Minister, Rev. Heather Rion Starr. We also offer lay led services featuring members and friends who share their thoughts and life experiences.
Hybrid Sunday Service:
- UUSD is requiring that only vaccinated individuals (who are eligible to be vaccinated against COVID) attend in-person services.
- Please stay home and enjoy our livestream if you have a fever, any other symptoms of illness, or if it’s simply a better option for you.
- Mask wearing is encouraged but not required.
Enjoy our livestream service at uussd.org/livestream, starting at 9:55 a.m.
A Social Hour is held in the Gathering Area after the Sunday service.
