WorshipWeb
Worship brings more Unitarian Universalists together in one place at one time than any single other event in the life of our congregations. And while there are many ways of understanding what it is that we do when we come together, the Unitarian Universalist Association's (UUA's) WorshipWeb is dedicated to providing the resources needed to help our congregations do it as well as they possibly can.
The resources in these pages come from our congregations—from the lay people, the music professionals, the religious education professionals, and the ordained clergy people who week after week take up the challenge of weaving together the wisdom of the ages and our own lived experiences—our own hurts and hopes, dreams and dramas—and who make from it all beauty and meaning. It is their expertise and creativity reflected in this site.
WorshipWeb is organized in interconnected modules. As we continue to share resources with one another, the number of these modules—as well as the amount of content within them—will continue to grow. Please continue to come back often, and please share your resources generously. This WorshipWeb, as the Universalist minister Ken Patton once said of the worship space itself, can be "the workshop of our common endeavor."
