Sunday Services
We continue to hold our services and events on Zoom. To join our Sunday morning worship service, our office administrator needs your email address so that she can send you the Zoom link, so please fill out the form at right if you are new to us or if you have changed your email.
Members, friends and those who sign up here receive an email from Manatee Unitarian Universalist Fellowship at 6:00 a.m. Saturday mornings providing the Zoom link and the order of service for the coming Sunday service. “Doors open” at 10:20 a.m. and the service begins at 10:30. If you arrive before 10:20, you will be placed in the Zoom waiting room until 10:20.
Our services for the most part are live, with an occasional music video. Live music is provided by our pianist. Our minister delivers a short homily three Sundays a month, and guest speakers are invited to speak on the Sundays our minister is away. The service usually runs for 20 – 30 minutes. Then we go into groups of 4 or 5 for our virtual coffee hour which lasts for about 10 minutes. Plan to stay for the coffee hour so we can get to know each other a little better!

Choir
One Sunday morning several years ago a question was asked:
Why do you come to church?
One of the leading answers was:
For the Choir!
Although our voices are silent right now, the fellowship choir is an important ministry to our members and friends, and to the singers. Many have been singing with the group for years. Being a member of the choir provides a sense of belonging, of community. Learning new songs is cognitively stimulating, helps with breathing and posture, and improves our sense of happiness and well-being. Anyone who enjoys singing is welcome to join. Reading music is helpful but not mandatory. There are no auditions. It’s free and it’s fun, and we can’t wait to resume once we can do it safely.
