“I welcome you to join this vibrant, intergenerational community.
~ Reverend Dr. Kristen Harper

Unitarian Church of Barnstable

To worship is to honor those things
that give us grounding, hope and
provide meaning to our lives.

Worship Committee

The primary responsibility of the Worship Committee is to invite guest clergy and lay speakers for Sundays when Rev. Harper is not preaching. We coordinate the service with our guest and then also participate as service leaders to provide the welcome and other traditional portions of the service.

Meeting Schedule: approximately four times a year

Term Length: Although there isn’t a specific term to be a member of the committee, it is helpful to serve two or more years.

Statement from our Minister

We believe very strongly that worship ought to be relevant to peoples’ lives. It must speak to the soul-seeking, day-to-day spiritual needs created by what is often a technologically overwhelming, violent, information-saturated, consumerist society. People come through our doors seeking meaning and purpose, and needing sustenance and strength to face their daily challenges.

Worship then, must acknowledge the painful realities of life and still affirm hope and humanity’s enduring promise, reminding people that they are not alone. Life is full of complexity and ambiguity, and worship must address this reality. It must also celebrate beauty and joy, testifying to the strength of humanity, the wonder of the natural world, the gifts of faith, and the power of community.
