Sunday Services at the Fellowship
(September 15 through May 18)
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.

December – Wholly Human
December is a time of year in our part of the world when we turn our attention to the great stories of some ancient and beautiful religious traditions. Judaism, Christianity, and Paganism all remind us of the gifts of the sacred within the human. As we turn toward the darkness and celebrate together, we honor the power of being wholly (and holy) human.

Sunday Service Focus
We focus our services each month on a topic so we can explore different aspects and go deeper. Our children’s Religious Exploration program and our Journey Groups & Chalice Circles for adults also follow along with these same focus areas.
Wholly Human: The Focus for the 2024-25 Program Year
At the Fellowship, we practice what it means to be human, and we practice making our lives and our world a better place. We do not all agree on the same theology or beliefs about God, the afterlife, or other questions of faith, but we do agree that being human means we need each other and we need community. And so, we strive to be that community for each other and for those who are still seeking. Join us this year for a focus on the skills and themes that help us live into our wholeness – to be wholly human.
Tools for Being Human 
Approximately once a month, we will focus our Sunday service on skills, life hacks, and tools for being human. Our schools, families, and society might not teach us these skills, but they are useful for the challenges of human life and relationships! Themes include radical welcoming, apology and reparation, healing religious baggage and trauma, having a human body 101, and more.
