This Sunday, join us for our December worship series, Presence. Our minister, Lóre Stevens, will lead worship and share a sermon entitled, “In the Moment, In the Winter.”
As we approach the depth of winter, let us consider the presence of absence. Our ideals, our loves, our spirituality all in some way relate to things that are distinct from us or are-not-yet. Let us consider how to love something in absentia.
Worship begins at 10 a.m. in person and on Zoom. For those attending worship by Zoom, please install the Zoom app on your device and use Zoom Worship Service Meeting ID: 946 8973 5846.
Our Split-the-Plate offering recipient for the month of December will go to the Free Medical Clinic. This non-profit organization offers free medical services to those who live in Anderson, Roane, and Morgan Counties, serving people who do not have insurance and cannot afford to pay for medical services due to their income level. Because it is a primarily volunteer organization, it relies on donations from individuals, churches, and community groups. This clinic provides medical care to those who have no other resources–it can literally mean the difference between life and death for some people. We all deserve adequate health care and to be treated with worth and dignity. Please GIVE HERE as you are willing and able, or text “ORUUC” to 73256.
After worship, please stay for our annual Congregational Meeting beginning at 11:15 a.m. in the Sanctuary and on Zoom. All youth are invited to the Holiday Craft Party in the Social Hall for the duration of the meeting. There will be no Youth or Adult Faith Formation classes today. The nursery will be available during worship and the Faith Formation hour. Check out our regular Faith Formation opportunities for adults here: http://www.oruuc.org/faith-formation-for-adults and children and youth here: http://www.oruuc.org/religious-education.
Covid-19 Update: Masks are not required in the building; whether joining us for worship in person or on Zoom, we encourage everyone to do what makes them feel comfortable.
All are welcome! We look forward to seeing you!
