Sunday Worship Services at the First Unitarian Church in Alton begin at 10:30 a.m. For a listing of each month’s sermon topics and guest speakers, please see our church newsletter.
The sources of inspiration for our Worship Services come from Judeo- Christian writings, Buddhist teachings, the practices of other world religions, humanist philosophies, and earth-centered traditions.
Our Services include music and singing, readings of prose or poetry, the sharing of personal joys and concerns, a quiet time for meditation, and sermons to enliven, educate, energize, encourage, and inspire.
On all but the first Sunday of each month, children go into the church sanctuary with their families, and participate in the opening part of the Worship Service, which includes a children’s focus. Following this short period the children are excused to their Religious Education (Sunday School) classes for the remainder of the hour. On the first Sunday of each month, children aged two and older gather together in another room for a “children’s chapel” with songs and a story before going to their classes.
Nursery care is provided for infants and toddlers during the Worship Service.
A fellowship time follows the Worship Service, with everyone invited to stay for light refreshments and conversation. Potluck lunches are held after church on the fourth Sunday of each month.
