UUCGV Worship Services
Unitarian Universalist worship services are similar to most
Protestant and Catholic services, with some important differences. We
follow a typical order of service, with readings, music, community sharing,
hymns, and a sermon. Because of our theology, however, the content of the
service is different from what you would experience in a Protestant or Catholic
church, a Jewish Synagogue, a Buddhist temple, or other religious groups.
We study all the worlds religions, and are also influenced by humanism and
earth-centered religious teachings. Thus you will find a broad mix of
religious traditions and teachings in our services.
Our
minister delivers the message usually two times a month in Grand Junction, with
guest speakers or lay led services for the balance of the time.
The Black Canyon Gathering services feature lay leaders and discussions.
We place a high value on music, so you will hear music of all types,
especially classical music, being performed. Unitarian Universalists have
their own hymnal, with traditional and modern songs, many with uniquely UU
wording and arrangements.
