What to Expect on Sunday Morning

    What to Expect on Sunday Morning

    Red River UU - people on porch

Join us!

We are a friendly, inclusive community gathering every Sunday at 11:15 AM to connect, find meaning, and inspire each other to live with wisdom and compassion.

Come as You Are

Forget “Sunday Best.” Our atmosphere is casual and comfortable. We embrace everyone—whether you are an Atheist, Believer, Buddhist, Christian, Humanist, Jew, Muslim, or Seeker. We celebrate diversity in all its forms—backgrounds, beliefs, lifestyles, and identities. Our strength lies in this beautiful tapestry of people coming together in mutual affirmation and lively conversation.

Our Service: Unique and Thought-Provoking

Our hour-long assembly is likely different from what you’ve experienced before. We draw inspiration from many sources—world philosophies, diverse religious texts, and modern authors—rather than one single book.
Here are a few things that happen each week:
  • A Call to Presence: The sound of a Tibetan bowl gently calls us to stillness. You are invited to light a candle for a personal joy or concern during a quiet prelude.
  • The Flaming Chalice: We light our flaming chalice, a symbol of our free religious tradition, and say our simple affirmation together:
Love is the spirit of this church … and service is its law.
This is our great covenant … to dwell together in peace,
To seek the truth in freedom … and to help one another.
  • Meaningful Messages: Each service centers on a specific theme, explored through readings, music, and a compelling message from a guest speaker (sometimes via video).
  • Moments of Reflection: We pause for “Practices,” a quiet segment including meditation, a poem, or a prayer.
  • Giving Back: We have an opportunity to support our community’s work through a weekly offering.

Beyond the Service

Adult Forum (10:00 AM Sundays): Arrive early to join our discussion group, which meets before the main service to explore topics using materials like The Great Courses Series videos.

Children’s Religious Education (11:15-12:15): Takes place during the normal worship service.

Conversations & Calories (After the Service): Our service ends around 12:15 PM, but the connection continues! Stick around for our coffee and social hour (“Conversations & Calories”) to meet new people and enjoy refreshments.

Want to Learn More?

Every Sunday is a little different! The best way to get a feel for our vibrant community is to visit a few times. You can also explore our monthly newsletter, Red River Ramblings, or check out past services and discussions on our YouTube Channel.
We look forward to welcoming you!
