No matter who you are, or where you are on life's journey, you are welcome here at University Congregational United Church of Christ. Young, old, sure of your path, or still searching --- we invite you to join us in imagining love and justice - as Jesus did - in acting to change the world.
Our in-person worship service starts at 10 am and includes hymns, prayers, scripture reading and a sermon. It usually lasts about an hour. During the 10 am service we also offer live-streaming to a nearby room that offers those with compromised immune systems to be more isolated. We also offer a separate space for children, with supervised play and crafts during the 10 am service. Sections of the 10 am service are programed into the 5 pm digital service, which is offered as a "vespers."
We are an inter-generational church and strive to be family-friendly, with an active ministry for children and youth. All ages are welcome in worship. We also offer nursery and child-care, Younger children begin the 10 am service with us and usually leave after about 15 minutes. Older children have the option of leaving for a special sermon time. Junior high and high school youth meet at 9 am and then often sit together in worship. Give us a call at 206-524-2322 for more specifics.
Wheelchair Access: The front entry is wheelchair accessible as are the rest rooms. Please don't hesitate to ask for assistance.
One of the problems people in Rabuor face is the lack of access to health care. Imagine you are sick or injured, but the nearest clinic is 6-10 miles away and you have no transportation. Or, you are the caregiver for 5 of your grandchildren – how do you get them in for checkups and vaccinations?
Mwanzo has had health workers come to the school from Chulaimbo Health Services (CHS) to provide malaria testing and vision screening services, but since the pandemic began, that has not been so frequent. Mwanzo staff have received several sessions of basic health care training, but we need teachers to have time to teach.
We are building a health room on the ground floor of the new Community Center. In fact, the room is being tiled and will be usable soon, even though the upper floors are not complete. We are working on furnishing the room, obtaining supplies, and collaborating with CHS to provide staffing. With the generous gifts from our donors, we will be able to provide for a nurse and, perhaps in the future, a community health worker. What a wonderful difference this will make for our students and for the whole community!
