Online Worship

Online Worship

Effective December 12, we plan to resume in-person Sunday worship in our Sanctuary for those who are double-vaccinated.  Live streaming of our services will continue via Zoom or YouTube – Sunday mornings at 10:30 a.m.  See below for details.

Or view a recording of our Sunday service:

  • on our YouTube channel usually within 24 hours of the service
  • one week later on Sunday at 11:00 a.m. on Cable 14 

Live on Zoom

CLICK HERE to connect to our 10:30 a.m. Sunday service.

  • The first part of each service involves readings, homilies, hymns, and other kinds of music, much like our regular in-person services.  Consider having your own chalice to light, and maybe another small candle to light for joys and sorrows. If you have a hymnal, keep it handy for hymns. 
  • The second part of the service is for those participants who choose to chat with others in small “breakout rooms”.

If you require assistance using Zoom, please consult these instructions.

If you have any questions about our approach to worship, or would like to be involved, please contact either Rev. Jamie Boyce at jamie@uuhamilton.ca or the Worship Team at worship@uuhamilton.ca.

Send any Joys & Sorrows to be read during the service to caring@uuhamilton.ca  and any Announcements to worship@uuhamilton.ca.  Please try to send them before Saturday at noon, as we can’t guarantee that they will be read if received later.

Live on YouTube

CLICK HERE to view our 10:30 a.m. Sunday service live-streamed on YouTube.  There is a 20-second delay between the 10:30 a.m. service on Zoom and viewing that service on our YouTube channel.

The second part of the service is not available on YouTube.
