Worship

AUGUST WORSHIP 
A chance to visit other churches

During the month of August, we do not hold worship services at The Union Church.  (Worship resumes on Sunday morning, September 9th at 10:00 a.m.).

Instead, we encourage you to visit other area churches to experience different worship style and content.  Bring back and share with Pastor Amy and Pastor Stacy what you really loved so that we at UCW may be enriched by your experience.  

If you are looking for somewhere to worship in August you may want to stop by Eliot Church (UCC) in Newton Corner.  Their worship service starts at 10:00.  Or First Baptist Church in Needham whose service also begins at 10:00.
