We are on a path to having our Sunday service live-broadcast from the sanctuary each Sunday, starting Dec. 6 at 10 AM.
As we prepare for live-broadcasting, we are adding new elements each Sunday. This Sunday the new element will be that our ZOOM room will be open to all – just as our sanctuary is open to all when we hold in-person services. So visitors and long-time attendees will be together again.
So don't be surprised if you see some new faces joining us! Please make a point of welcoming folks if you see them before the service begins, or on chat, during our coffee hour, or in a break-out group. As always, we are a diverse and welcoming community and pleased to have newcomers join our midst.

NATIONAL FAMILIES AND POLITICS SEMINAR 2:00-4:00 PM |

Rev. John has reconnected our congregation to the Braver Angels Network, an organization comprised of conservatives and progressives committed to understanding one another and recognizing the humanity in all of us.
With our shift to virtual spaces, we have an opportunity to participate with this solid organization which is committed to healing the great divides in our country. Please let Rev. John know if you are interested in being part of a TUCW Braver Angels team.
And, just in time for the holidays, Braver Angels is offering a workshop “ National Families and Politics,” which will focus on how we can speak to our families across political divides. The program is free, but you do have to register to attend by clicking HERE. We hope you’ll join in. |

11:00 AM Annual Thanksgiving Multigenerational Service
“Thanks for the Help”
– Rev. John Morehouse
This Sunday we celebrate Thanksgiving together as a vibrant faith community. We look forward to hearing from our children and teen choirs in the service, and are pleased our children will join us in watching the service with us.
Rev. John will give a homily on how Thanksgiving is more than offering thanks for the bounty of life; it is a reminder to offer help to those in need, even ourselves.
Worship Associate: Linda Lubin
