Sunday Services
Although a pandemic may separate us physically, it need not sever us from community. While we cannot be together in body at this time, we can be together in spirit. Let us then, set aside some time each Sunday to gather in spirit with one another and, through ritual and reflection, support one another by strengthening our resolve to remain faithful to our principles and maintain the bonds of community, friendship and love.
During this time while we can't be together, we are offering a Sunday Service for your use under the Alternative Sunday Worship to the left. We are also offering an interactive Sunday Service via ZOOM at 10:30 each Sunday. If you would like to participate and are not on our email list, please send your email address to our Office Assistant Nina at the email address: buuc01506@gmail.com.

Our settled minister is the Rev. Craig Nowak.
On Sundays that we do not have a minister in the pulpit, we have many talented and eager lay leaders who offer worship. Whether minister-lead or lay-lead, our services are often thought-provoking and helpful in living everyday life.
