This Sunday, John Hall will present a Living Our Principles service in support of the October theme of Courage.

Join us for Worship:

We returned to virtual services in August of 2021, but West Fork Unitarian Universalists were excited to resume in-person services at the end of March 2022. We have also slightly changed our schedule.

Our services are now Sundays at 10:30 a.m. at the Progressive Women’s Association Event Center, 305 Washington Ave., in downtown Clarksburg, behind the Courthouse, with a coffee gathering after the service. More about us.

Classes and worship are replaced by Spiritual Outings on the first Sunday of each month during the summer, with brief worship, a potluck picnic, and outdoor activities. The schedule is in the sidebar.

We would love to have you come worship with us.

Children are welcome. 

The building is wheelchair accessible, with an accessible restroom.

March 2022 Theme – Renewing Faith

Renewing Faith: A Call to Worship by Rev. Dr. David Breeden

We ask “what’s the point?”

to renew our faith, 

to renew our trust

that our world is enough,

that we are enough.

We ask “what’s the point?” 

to remind ourselves 

that loving our world

and each other is our way.

We ask “what’s the point?”

to renew our faith that 

loving choices create 

a loving life

Quote – Anne Lamott

My coming to faith did not start with a leap but rather a series of staggers from what seemed like one safe place to another. Like lily pads, round and green, these places summoned and then held me up while I grew. Each prepared me for the next leaf on which I would land, and in this way I moved across the swamp of doubt and fear.

“If you have come here to help me, you are wasting your time. But if you have come because your liberation is bound up with mine, then let us work together.” – Lilla Watson

This Sunday John Hall will explore themes of collective liberation and what that means as we widen our circle.
