Join in person or on Zoom. Worship Leader Joyce Cutler fell out of bed in April 2024 and into loving, supportive arms. It’s amazing what strokes can teach you when you’re willing to learn. Join her as she celebrates the love shared with her, as she digs through the pile and finds shards of love, acceptance and beauty.

 

About our Services

Every Sunday, we gather together in spiritual community to connect us in shared values in community and to something larger than ourselves. As UUs, we come with a diversity of beliefs and traditions, all connected by shared values and principles with Love at the center. In a world of joy and despair, of oppression and resistance, our communities call us to our better selves.  We appreciate music from the Crescendo and Pop-Up Choirs, as well as the Joyful Noise Band that plays live music for services and adds to the celebration of our community.

 

There are two ways to attend this worship service:

• In person: Worship service starts at 10:20 AM. All are invited to stay after worship for Coffee Hour in Wendte Hall.

• Via Zoom (Closed Captions Provided): Click here to join us online for the service and Virtual Coffee Hour. The virtual “doors” open at 10 AM and music commences at 10:20 AM.

Checking out First Unitarian Oakland?

If you’re joining us for the first time, we would like to extend a full welcome!  Please answer a few questions on our online Newcomer Connection Card.  When at church on Sunday, you can also ask questions and get help at the Greeting Table on the patio before the service.

On most Sundays right after the service, we have a quick Newcomer Welcome in the sanctuary — meet up with a church member in front by the pulpit, for a quick introduction to the church and answers to your questions — then join us in Wendte Hall for Coffee Hour.  If you attend via Zoom, please stay on after service and say hi during the Online Coffee Hour!
