The Board of Trustees of the Unitarian Church of Staten Island is examining ways to return to in-person Sunday Services while retaining an online option when our 2021-22 Church Year begins in September. Our traditional Summer Sunday hiatus begins in mid-June. During the summer months we offer a Summer Series of gatherings and events on Sundays. Information about these weekly events will be published on our Facebook page (click the Facebook icon on the upper left of our home page) and in our weekly newsletter.

Sunday Services

Sunday, June 27, 2021 • 12:00 noon
UUA General Assembly Sunday Worship
Join us for the largest annual gathering of UUs joining in worship. This powerful, communal worship experience will stream on Sunday, June 27, 2021 at 9 Pacific / 10 Mountain / 11 Central / noon Eastern. Members of the public are welcome to view the service.
Recognizing the importance of shared ministry and the many innovative approaches to worship created by congregations during the pandemic, UUA President, Rev. Dr. Susan Frederick Gray, selected the First Universalist Church of Minneapolis to serve as worship leaders for this year's GA Sunday Morning Service.
First Universalist has been a model of shared ministry and what it means to put the work of dismantling white supremacy and building anti-racist, anti-oppressive practices at the center of their ministry. They have been on the front lines in support of the Movement for Black Lives in Minneapolis, bringing spiritual care and moral leadership in the wake of George Floyd’s murder by police and the important uprisings for justice that followed.
Children and families are a vital part of their ministry, and they have been using creative approaches to engage all ages in worship during the pandemic. Their leadership exemplifies some of the best practices for the creativity, spiritual depth, and moral leadership that is possible when we embrace the work of shared ministry rooted in love and justice.
