To Remember

Posted on by MaryBeth Hannan

Sunday, May 26, 2016

Led by Cal Frye and Worship Associate Kathy Kerns

Memorial Day may be one of the most personal of our American holy days.  It is born out of the human need to make sense of life and death.  To make meaning out of what we have been given and what we will do with it; to remember all those sons and daughters who did their duty, regardless if they wanted to or not.  To Remember.

One Sunday service at 10 AM with nursery care available.

The Once and Future Church

Posted on by MaryBeth Hannan

Sunday, May 19, 2019

Led by Rev. Steven Protzman and Worship Associate Eric van Baars

Once again we gather to do the work of this covenantal community through worship and our annual meeting.   Together we will reflect on who we’ve been this past year, how UUCK has been living out our mission to inspire love, seek justice, and grow in community, and dream about who we might be in the years to come, holding before us a vision of the Beloved Community.

***One service at 9:45 am followed by social hour.  Congregational Annual Meeting at 11:30 am and an all congregation potluck to follow.

Nursery care will be available for both the Sunday service at 9:45 AM and the Annual Meeting which will follow.

Lessons from the Flowers

Posted on by MaryBeth Hannan

Sunday, May 12, 2019

Led by Rev. Steven Protzman, DRE Colleen Thoele, and Worship Associate Lisa Thiel

What do the flowers have to teach us about life? As a community of all ages, we will gather for our annual celebration of flower communion. This tradition, created by Norbert Capek in Czechoslovakia in 1923, invites us to see the beauty all around us in each other and in the world and to learn from the flowers. Please bring cut flowers to share for this festive service.

Sunday services are offered at 9:45 and 11:30 AM with nursery care available during both services.

Second Service 11:30 AM
Coming of Age — They Journey has Just Begun

Led by UUCK High School Youth and  Worship associate Colleen Thoele

All year long our high school youth have been questioning and investigating their faith. Now they have completed the Coming of Age program and will present to you, their community, what they have discovered. This service will honor their journey, lift up their voices and celebrate a new stage in their lives- one with diverse meanings and endless promise. 

Listen to the second service with the older students here.
