Sunday Worship Services


Flaming Chalice

Worship services on Sunday mornings feature our minister, a visiting minister, or a speaker from the congregation or the community. Sermons sometimes include a Q & A period or other opportunity for listener input. This diversity provides a wide range of topics and formats to encourage our personal and spiritual growth.

Our service begins with the lighting of the Flaming Chalice (our symbol of faith). Besides the sermon, services may include instrumental or vocal music, a prayer or meditation, readings, announcements, or a space for worshippers to share their joys and concerns.

Our congregation gathers at our Fellowship House for services from 11:00 am to 12:00 most Sunday mornings September through May. We welcome visitors to our Sunday services and other activities in the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship house in Lima. In this small group, every individual is important, and we will appreciate your visiting with us. Worship service is customarily followed with a period of casual social interaction and visiting. Conversation with old friends or new acquaintences, praise and pointed questions for the speaker, listening and caring, exchanging news, expressing hope or concerns are the norm. Coffee and refreshments are provided by the hospitality committee. schedule

Video-Enhanced Sunday Service

Sunday service (Nov. 5, 2011) marked our first formal use of a newly-installed, wall-mounted video system. Mr. Joe Dunkle, docent at the Allen County Museum, showed a video of Woodlawn Cemetery’s beautiful roads, landscape, mausoleums and monuments, illustrating and enhancing his lively description of individuals, businesses and industries that established and grew Lima, Ohio from the 1830’s. more
