Sunday Services at the Fellowship Program Year
(September 14, 2025 through May 17, 2026)
9:00 am – Sunday Coffeehouse Service & Childcare – People of all ages are welcome to attend the Sunday Coffeehouse Service, a relaxed, conversation-based service without a full sermon. This service takes place in the Fellowship Hall around tables with coffee and bagels. If kids prefer to attend childcare during the 9:00 am service, they’re welcome to do so.
10:10 am – Middle Hour and Fun & Friends – Stay after the first service or come early to the second service, to enjoy opportunities for learning and connection with other Fellowship adults. Kids will enjoy Fun & Friends time in the Religious Exploration wing for play and building community.
11:00 am – Traditional Service & Religious Exploration – Everyone starts in the sanctuary for the traditional service, and children are “sung out” to Religious Exploration classes after the Wonder Box about 15 minutes into the service. This service includes traditional elements like hymns, ritual, and a sermon.

A Letter to My Father: An exploration of complicated love, and the softening of our hearts over time by Rev. Karon Sandberg
Rev. Karon Sandberg was ordained by this congregation and served her ministry as a hospice chaplain. Her patients taught her so much more about living than dying. In retirement now, she still speaks at area UU congregations sharing these lessons and musing about life in this complicated world. She and her husband, Joel, love kayaking, hiking, and travel. She continues to find meaning in supporting reproductive rights and LGBTQ+ rights in her own corner of the world.
