Love cannot remain by itself – it has no meaning.
Love has to be put into action and that action is service.
~ Mother Theresa

Worship Associates
•    help to plan future service themes
•    work with the minister to select service topics, music and readings
•    may lead services and give the message
•    usually assist at 4-5 services per year

Most weeks, Worship Associates at UUCSR create and share their personal reflections on the theme of the service.

These reflections have become a treasured part of our services. They make us laugh and cry, and invite the congregation to connect with the theme more profoundly.

Are You Interested in Being a Worship Associate? If you

• have been a member of UUCSR for at least one year
• have a desire to create inspiring and transcendent worship
• are patient, flexible and responsible
• have the ability to connect with others
• are comfortable speaking to large groups

        – please speak to the Chair of the Worship Associates, Judy Withee.
