All health guidelines will be posted and should be reviewed before being seated.

Masks are required while in the sanctuary.

Every year on the Sunday closest to October 4th, the feast of St. Francis of Assisi*, many people of faith around the world participate in events where animals are blessed.

We will celebrate a blessing of pets on Sunday, October 2nd, in the in-person and online worship services.

Please send the name and a photo of your pet by Thursday, September 29th, to share@centralunionchurch.org to be included in the online service.

*St. Francis of Assisi lived a life of simplicity, charity and humility in the 13^thcentury. He is remembered as a champion of justice and lover of animals.

In October, our whole Central Union ‘ohana will engage in a stewardship journey. You are invited to join us in moving through our devotional, The Big Secret of Giving: Hidden Treasures in Life and Church, a collection of daily meditations.

Paper copies of the devotional will be made available at the in-person worship services in October and can also be picked up in the church office after October 2.

To receive a digital copy of our stewardship devotional and to reduce paper waste, please sign up by clicking the green button below!
