| What can I
expect at a Sunday Worship Service? What
are Sunday services like?
Sunday services typically include
the following: music, a time for the community to share announcements
as well as joys and concerns, a spoken, silent and musical meditation,
singing of hymns, readings, and a sermon. Visitors and newcomers are
greeted at the door and are given an order of service (bulletin) and
are invited to sign the guest book. Signing the guest book will put you
on the mailing list for six months. You will then receive our monthly
newsletter, The Tower
Clock, which will keep you informed of our programs.
What should my children
and I wear to this church? Some
people dress up and some people dress casually. Wear what feels
comfortable to you. Are all people welcome in this
congregation? We
strive to respect and welcome all people. Our congregation "recognizes
individual freedom, embraces diversity, and supports the development of
a caring community." Please read more about our mission in Our Church.
Are there people in the
congregation who hold diverse beliefs? Unitarian Universalists affirm a diversity
of religious ideas and support spiritual development guided by freedom,
reason, and conscience. How do I meet other people? How do I get
involved? Attend
a service. You will be greeted at the door. Stay for refreshments and
conversation following the service. Give some thought to whether you
prefer to meet new people in social, small group or work-related
activities; we offer all these options. For example, you can enroll in
an adult religious
education class, join any of our committees
or groups to
work on specific projects that match your skills/interests, or become
involved in the Small
Group Ministry program which offers more personal, spiritual
exploration in the context of intimate community. For more information,
you may contact the church at 603-756-3961 or wuuch@verizon.net.
How do I get to the
church? We have
two main buildings (The Church
and the Hastings Memorial
Parish House) plus the parsonage. The Walpole Unitarian
Church is located on the corner of Main and Union Streets in the
village of Walpole, New Hampshire. The Hastings Parish House is
directly behind the church on Union Street. Click
