UU Congregation of the Chesapeake

• Words of welcome
• Lighting a flaming chalice, the symbol of our faith
• A multi-generational segment, such as a “story for all ages”
• Music, both instrumental and vocal and in a variety of styles
• A time for lifting up the joys and concerns of the congregation
• A meditation or prayer
• Readings—ancient or contemporary
• A sermon given by a professional minister, a guest speaker, or a member of the congregation
• An offering, collecting financial donations for the congregation or for justice work in the community.

From time to time, our worship services incorporate holiday celebrations, musical performances, or special ceremonies to commemorate life’s passages. We also offer childcare and religious exploration programs for children and youth during the Sunday service.
