Worship Service Proposal Form – The First Unitarian Church of Hamilton

First Unitarian Church of Hamilton Service Proposal Form

The Worship Team of the First Unitarian Church of Hamilton plays a central role in the creation of high quality worship services, working in coordination with the Minister and the Music Committee. Congregants at First Unitarian play many roles in worship services, including service leading, story-telling, and speaking. When all the elements of the service blend together well, a truly meaningful worship experience is created. If you are interested in creating a service, we’d like you to complete this service proposal form. The worship team will be notified of your suggestions, and incorporate it into our planning. Please know that the Worship Team works at least 4 months out to give everyone amply time to prepare.

All worship services at UU Hamilton use a partially intergenerational format and structure, which includes a Story for All Ages at the top of the service. One of our Worship team members can arrange for a story and storyteller for your service. If you have any recommendations or themes to suggest for this story, please share them here.

Does your service have any special rituals or elements, which will require additional assistance from our members or staff? (Ex: Will your service be fully intergenerational, thus requiring assistance from our Religious Educator and Volunteers? Do you have special needs in regards to music? Are there props or material you will need: a slideshow or video to show?)
