Sunday April 20, 2025 – Liberation, Rebirth, Reverence

,

This Sunday is the Christian holiday of Easter, the last day of the Jewish celebration of Passover, and two days before Earth Day. Our multigenerational service this morning will include a story about an enchanted hare, a touch of Unitarian Universalist theology, and a Bread Communion. In addition, you will learn about the possibility of UU Oakland becoming a community climate resilience hub. Music will be provided by the Joyful Noise Band and Crescendo Choir. After the service the children will enjoy an egg hunt. Also, you will be invited to join our Justice Council and Interfaith Light and Power to canvass the neighborhood to discover our neighbors’ concerns and priorities for disaster preparedness and for the possible resilience hub at church.

There are two ways to attend this worship service:

  • In person: Worship service starts at 10:20 AM. We strongly recommend that you wear a mask while in the building. All are invited to stay after worship for Coffee Hour in Wendte Hall.
  • Via Zoom: Click here to join us online for the service and Virtual Coffee Hour. Closed captions will be provided. The first part consists of watching the live stream, and the second part continues our practice of online 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, you can stay in the Zoom session after the service for informal discussion in our Virtual Coffee Hour.

We look forward to you joining us for worship service each week! For more information, check out About Worship.
