After a three-and-a-half-year hiatus due to the global pandemic, Rev. Jacqueline Brett, Lead Minister of ERUUF, has announced the return to two Sunday morning worship services, beginning September 3, 2023.
A 9:00 – 9:50 am service will place greater intention upon quiet centering and contemplation, while an 11:00 am – 12:10 pm service will offer a livelier program. Both services will include the same sermon, though music will be different in each and, due to current staffing levels, only the second service will be livestreamed.
Sunday Religious Exploration (RE) Classes for Children and Adults
After consultation with families this past Spring, the 9:00 am Sunday service will include the nursery for children under age 3, however RE classes for older children will not be offered until the 11:00 am worship time. Children accompanied by an adult are of course welcome to attend the 9:00 am service. At 11:00 am, the nursery will again be offered, as well as classes for older children who will begin in the Sanctuary through the Time for All Ages, after which they’ll depart for RE classes, which are scheduled to end at 12:15pm.
Adult classes and Fellowship Time will take place between the two services (a plan is being developed to offer childcare for parents who wish to attend a class between services). A Fellowship Time will also follow the second service.
“We’re hopeful this return to two services will be an opportunity to broaden ERUUF’s worship offerings,” said Rev. Brett. “Let us all hold a spirit of innovation and patience as we bring about these exciting new changes.”
