Festival Worship (Protestant)
Sunday, August 25th, 2019
10:00 AM - 11:15 AM
Storrs Campus Storrs Congregational Church UCC
Expressive, participatory liturgy; thoughtful preaching; and a soul-stirring blend of new and traditional music are some of the elements you can expect to encounter at Storrs Congregational Church UCC each Sunday. We keep time by the seasons of the church year as we tune our hearts, minds, and spirits to the ever-present NOW of God.
As we say at nearly every worship service, “No matter who you are, or where you are on life’s journey God welcomes you… and so do we.” We take these words seriously. We strive to be a community as diverse and hospitable as God’s kingdom. We don’t all look or act alike; God knows we don’t all think alike. We don’t all read the Bible the same way. We come from different religious backgrounds, we bring different questions, and we carry different burdens. But every Sunday, we gather and worship God together as one.
In our grand old church, we do Sunday morning in some pretty traditional ways. We study the teachings and the actions of Jesus. We gather around the waters of grace and the feast table of Christ,
just as Christians have for nearly two thousand years. Some of the songs we sing are ones our grandparents might also have sung in their day. Yet, in our preaching and prayers, we wrestle with the
challenges of the modern world. We hope your heart will hear something personal and relevant—a word of comfort, a spur to action, a call to a deeper relationship with God. -
