For most of our worship services beginning in the spring of 2020, we have video recordings of the full worship service and of just the sermon available for you to watch.

Rest, Reconnect and Resist

Led by: Rev. Christine Dance
Music: UUCP Choir

In the final service before Rev. Christine leaves on her 5-month sabbatical, we will be exploring the theological concept of sabbath and rest and why it is important for our minister, but also ourselves. As the revolution and resistance continues, rest and renewal will be an important part of our spiritual care. We will also welcome new members.

Strength in Fellowship – Taking our Covenant Seriously

Led by: Katie Resendiz
Music: Taylisse

UUCP Kids lead with love, truth, and an unwavering commitment to justice. In this collaborative worship service, we will explore how our youngest members embody our covenant—living with love and creating justice for one another, our congregation, and the greater world. Through stories, songs, and reflections, this generation of compassionate caretakers, will show us what it means to serve our community and share our strength in fellowship. Let their wisdom and commitment call you to action and rekindle our own sense of purpose and connection.

Has There Been A More Important Time for Progressive Faith?

Led by: Rev. Christine Dance
Worship Associate: Jon Palumbo
Music: UUCP Choir

Has there ever been a more important time for Unitarian Universalism's progressive community at UUCP than now? We could make a very compelling case that the answer is no. With the rise of Christian Nationalism, evangelical religion in politics, conservative courts and an unrestrained presidency, being a part of- and supporting UUCP- is critical. This will be the opening service of our Stewardship Campaign and the choir will be singing.

Nature is a source of spirituality for many Unitarian Universalists. Vince Waldron shares reflections from his treks along the rugged and beautiful Arizona Trail, an 800 mile journey marked by awe, humility, and a deep sense of connection with his fellow travelers.

The World Is On Fire–What Can We Do?

Led by: Rev. Christine Dance
Worship Associate: Bill Snowden
Music: UUCP Band

On the day after UUCP's Climate Justice Revival, we will explore what we can do when the world is literally and metaphorically on fire. In this time when many of us are feeling helpless, let's explore together how we can be empowered to do what we can.

Churches As Places of Resistance and Healing–A Civil Rights Legacy

Led by: Rev. Christine Dance
Worship Associate: John LaBarbera
Music: Choir

On this Martin Luther King Jr weekend, we will be reflecting on how the Black Church played a critical role in the Civil Rights movement--not just for organizing, but for community and mourning. We will be taking this time to embrace that role by recognizing the tremendous amount of loss this congregation has had in the last few years with a candlelight ritual for our own beloveds who have died. The choir will be singing for this important and meaningful service.
