Every
church activity, no matter how small, sustains and nurtures this
community. This place is filled with people willing to be in
relationship with one another. Willing to live and love and grow
together. Willing to find out what it means to be fully human. In lay
ministry, we share what we have with others. We pay attention. We
participate. We risk joy. We
all have a unique gift of experience, ability, or vision and our church
is rich with opportunities to be of service, to develop our spiritual
path. In fact, the bond of union between members and church states that
First UU Church covenants to help members "develop a sustaining
confidence in the meaning and purpose of life".
Ask yourself these two questions:
- What would you do if you knew you could not fail?
- How can First UU Church help you develop a sustaining confidence in the meaning and purpose of your life?
These are not easy questions. They require thought, reflection, honesty and imagination.
They require you. There
are many ways you can start, continue, develop and refine your
spiritual path here at First UU Church of San Diego.
Our
Sunday Worship services are moving, respectful, celebratory,
interesting, challenging, and fun. They reflect our belief that
religion should not only comfort the afflicted, but also afflict the
comfortable. The format and theme vary widely. Some services feature
hymns, readings, and a sermon. The format is similar to traditional
Protestant services, but the content reflects our Unitarian
Universalist religious values. Many Sundays we have special Worship
services on such topics as Religious Education, the diverse types of
families in our congregation, the United Nations, or Women's Sunday.
Our
services run about an hour. We offer an open meditation group at 9 a.m. There is a coffee
and social after each service, on our lower patio. If
you have questions about attending or getting involved in our Sunday
Worship, please contact our Director of Community Life, Suzette
Southfox, at 619-298-9978.
