Our Worship Life
Worship is central to our lives as Christians, and it is central to our life as a community together here at
Second Congregational United Church of Christ.
We believe worship takes a little effort and a little time before it starts to sink in. Come a few times and the rhythms,
language, beauty, and depth of worship will begin to take hold of you. And when our worship really comes to take hold of us
and shape our very identity, we believe that is when the door is most open for God to really get to work transforming our
lives and our world.
