About Sunday Services Committee

The Sunday Services Committee is responsible for planning and coordinating weekly Sunday services at UUCF. This includes planning for the year (themes, holidays, special events), scheduling both paid and volunteer speakers, and working collaboratively with musicians, Information Services Committee and volunteers. In 2024, the committee adopted the Soul Matters curriculum and added new traditions such as a welcome song, a children's song, and a closing song. The committee engages professional speakers and UUCF congregants, aiming to build spiritual, thought-provoking and meaningful services throughout the year.
