Summary: Episode Fourteen in the “A Religion for Our Time” series gives a behind-the-scenes look at the joint Association Sunday service planned by seven Unitarian Universalist (UU) congregations in South Central Pennsylvania. Thanks to more than two hundred volunteers, the November 2010 joint service included an orchestra, an intergenerational dance troupe, a robust choir, and a sermon by Unitarian Universalist Association President Rev. Peter Morales. Worshipping together builds community among the congregations and gives participants a sense of the broader UU movement. “Many of our members have never been UU’s anywhere else,” explains Rev. Judy Welles, co-minister of the UUs of the Cumberland Valley congregation. “So to come into a much larger context…where they see, ‘oh we’re really part of something much bigger,’ is very healthy.”
