WORSHIP SERVICE: 10:00 AM
"IN MEMORY OF HER" - REV. DR. JOHN MOREHOUSE
|
|
In this service John asks us to consider how the lives of women have shaped who we are now and who we can become. The autonomy of women is critical to our becoming more spiritual and the future of our planet. The denial of that autonomy is an injustice that cannot stand.
Click HERE for the Order of Service. The service will be in person and virtual; attendance guidelines are HERE. Broadcast of the service is available at uuwestport.org/livestream. Offering can be made on VENMO ("The Unitarian Church in Westport"), on vop.tucw.org, or feel free to mail in cash or check.

There will be no Faith Formation classes this Sunday due to the Memorial Day Holiday Weekend. That said, if you are a kid (6th grade and younger) and are in town and not doing anything, come to UU Westport on Sunday! We will be piloting a session of Summer Fun & Games 2023 with a craft project and playground fun!
Look how happy our High School Youth were after last Sunday’s worship service, led by the youth themselves. Congratulations on a great service! You rock!

LOOKING AHEAD: Don’t miss our exciting year-end Faith Formation Celebration next Sunday, June 4. We will feature our children and youth and all the amazing things we did and learned during the year, including video montages, music, a simulated class for K-5th graders, and a special ceremony to honor our graduating seniors. Following the service, there will be a special Faith Formation Family picnic!
Beginning Sunday, June 11 and continuing until Labor Day in September, we will offer Summer Fun & Games 2023 to rising 6th graders and younger during the summer worship services. We are looking for adult volunteers to sign up to help. If you are interested, contact Nate Pawelek. This is a great way to get to know our amazing children!
