When you arrive at Northwest Community you’ll be greeted by one of our members and we’ll have someone show you around if you like. We hear quite often there is a warm energy that can be felt here and many of our members chose Northwest as their church home because of the strong sense of community.

A typical Sunday follows the schedule below.

Morning Blessings - 9:45 AM
“Morning Blessings” is a facilitated, reverent time before services to light a candle, share a joy or sorrow, and be in contemplative community together.
Please join us at 9:45 am in the sanctuary every Sunday. All ages are encouraged to participate; please help children to respect the quiet space at that time.

Worship Service - 10:00 AM
Our Sunday worship service is very similar to what you may have encountered at church when growing up. There is singing, a children’s story, readings, prayer/meditation and a sermon. Our worship services often incorporate teachings from all the world religions, concepts from great philosophers and thinkers from the past and present as well as the innovations and logic of science and reason.

All ages are invited to attend our worship service. Near the beginning of the service the younger children are invited to come to the front of the sanctuary to hear the children’s story. After that, the congregation sings them to Children’s Chapel. Middle School and High School students are encouraged to stay for the remainder of the service in sanctuary.

Corner Forum - 11:15 AM
The Corner Forum is a lively discussion group that meets after service at 11:15 in the corner of the church. Topics range from discussing the morning’s sermon, recent events, or other topics suggested by members of the group. Got an idea for the forum? Come share it!

Adult Religious Education - 11:15 AM
Adult Religious Education (RE) provides an opportunity for intellectual and spiritual growth. The group discusses written works of common interest, but perhaps the greatest benefit comes from sharing diverse viewpoints, broad life experiences, and our deepest personal insights in an open, trusting, and caring environment.

RE is a time of small group sharing. The people in the group bring a range of perspectives and experiences that keep the conversation lively. We meet on Sundays after worship from 11:15 to 12:00 in the room behind the sanctuary. Visitors to the class are always welcome.

Children’s Religious Education - 11:15 AM
Religious Education is valued strongly by the members of our church. Parents feel it is important for children of all age levels to receive guidance and instruction in order to develop a strong sense of self and feel comfortable about their religion.

Goals of Our Children’s Religious Education Program:
* Teach children of all ages what it means to be a Unitarian Universalist and how to live guided by the principles of Unitarian Universalism.

* Teach children about our Judeo-Christian heritage and what other religions believe

* Provide instruction on topics of relevance in the lives of our youth
