What to expect:

 

Sunday Service is at 10:30 a.m. 

​

Our services reveal the heart and soul of our First Unitarian of Omaha community. Through these enlightening, caring, joyful occasions, hearts, minds, and doors are opened. To those of you considering a first time visit, we extend a special welcome and invitation.

​

When you visit to First Unitarian of Omaha you’ll be warmly greeted at the door by one of our members. Inside, many people, happy to see each other, join in a flurry of conversations. In the foyer, a church member will happily answer any questions you may have. Immediately following the Service, you are invited to enjoy refreshments and conversation in the downstairs Common Room. Downstairs in the Common Room, the Welcome Table displays an array of informational brochures and you’ll find a member there ready to chat with you.

​

At a typical Service you will experience:

​

• responsive reading as a call to gather, accompanying the lighting of               the chalice

• welcome to visitors

• readings

• singing of hymns by the congregation

• special music by our choir and/or professional musicians from the

           church or wider community

• offering to support the church operating fund and the community                 organizations we support

•sermon from our minister or guest speaker

​

 

Worship begins at 10:30 and typically runs 60-75 minutes.

 

We are an informal congregation. While a few might wear a jacket and tie, or dress, others come in clothes suitable for weekend activities. Children are encouraged to dress casually as they may be engaged in arts and crafts or outdoor activities.

​

At First Unitarian Church, you’ll find a vibrant group of religious seekers who have found a common ground where the deepest values of life can be shared. Our growing congregation offers ever-increasing opportunities for life enrichment, spiritual growth, and social justice. Our members and friends are thinking, caring, progressive people of all ages.

For Your Children

​

Children are always welcome and valued at First Unitarian Church of Omaha. It is the parents’ choice whether they would prefer to have their children with them in the services, or playing in the childcare area with staff supervision, or attending the regularly scheduled children’s programming.

​

Religious Education during Services: Religious education classes are offered during most services (with the exception of a few multi-generational services through the year). Any child or youth attending religious education classes are invited to sit with their parents during the first few minutes of the service, and after the “Story for All Ages,” will then be dismissed to classes. Childcare is always available for infants up to 5 years of age in our nursery.

Childcare is available for other church programs as requested. If you would like childcare to be provided for a church program, contact our Childcare Coordinator, at childcare@firstuuomaha.org.
