Sabbath school is at 10:30 am and Divine Worship at 11:30 am. I just went to the worship service. I was warmly greeted by the ushers and given a visitor's gift bag. Pastor Marcus Hayes is very personable, he came and welcomed me to the church. When he's bringing the Word he is very animated and holds your attention. The Praise and Worship team sang beautifully. At this church they don't seem to include the children's story right before the sermon. Acts Two is active within the community with donations to a local food pantry in the area.

I've attended "IC" since 1984. We were welcomed into the community as if part of a family and were…read moreinvolved in many different activities and organizations. When we lost our twin daughters to death, members of the community were there for us. Later our two son's graduated from the associated school, participated in soccer, basketball, alter serving and in an incredible Cub Scout Pack & Boy Scout Troop. Our son's and other boy scouts grew to become young men of integrity. Example: Our son's identified, initiated, planned and lead reconstruction projects for the associated convent with an estimated value of $240,000. Others created grotto's, and performed landscaping. Each learned much by such projects. Also each priest and nun that has served our community has exhibited wonderful and unique talents in their service to thousands of families in Christ. This community has been and is home to many wonderful people. Come join, introduce yourself and get involved. It's a blessing.

Today was our first--but definitely not our last--time attending mass at St. Jude's. I absolutely…read moreloved that the diversity of the congregation was reflected back to us by the men and women serving on the altar and in the choir. There was a trail mix of Americans, Asians, Africans, and Hispanics, from young to old, dressed in everything between casual flip-flops to carefully-coiffed headdresses. Today's sermon was given by a guest priest, Father Joseph Nguyen. He incorporated many elements of a good sermon by using a real narrative (Buzz Aldrin's comMOONion) to relate and relay the gospel into our modern lives. The potency of the message, however, starts to wear off after about two anecdotes. An important element of GREAT sermons that some priests forget to factor in is brevity. Ten (or an absolute max of 15) minutes is all you really have, fathers. After that, your flock gets fidgety, and "too tired to be inspired."

Nurturing spirits, confirming human dignity, living our progressive values and giving back to the community, these are ideas I aspire to, which this church embodies.

When I first started attending First UU, I didn't really feel like I needed a church. I needed a…read morechoir, and First UU has a great one; that's what initially drew me in. A few months after joining the sanctuary choir, though, I was surprised to find myself feeling more and more at home throughout the church (not just in the choir loft). The Unitarian church is not like other churches. For those of you who don't know anything about it, a good place to start is our principles: * The inherent worth and dignity of every person; * Justice, equity and compassion in human relations; * Acceptance of one another and encouragement to spiritual growth in our congregations; * A free and responsible search for truth and meaning; * The right of conscience and the use of the democratic process within our congregations and in society at large; * The goal of world community with peace, liberty, and justice for all; * Respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part. If the principles above align with yours, come check out First UU. One other thing about the church that makes me proud is that we're just about to break ground on a new education building, and we plan to pursue LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Certification for it (we're hoping for silver).
