The offering that we take each Sunday isn't just a stale habit: it's an opportunity to recommit to this place, and to this people. Our offering is an affirmation—a “yes.” When we give, we say yes to something we value. With our gifts, freely given, may we say yes to the values of our faith.Offering | By Erika Hewitt | September 4, 2017 | From WorshipWebTagged as: Commitment, Gratitude, Money, Purpose, Secular, Self-Respect, Stewardship, Unitarian Universalism

Last spring, I got a message from the universe. Now I don’t get too many messages from the universe; sometimes I don’t even get my phone messages. But this message was very loud, and it came at four in the morning in the form of a tremendous thud from my closet. This particular message was one...Sermon | By Bonnie McClish Dlott | January 21, 2015 | From WorshipWebTagged as: Abundance, Direct Experience, Economy, Greed, Money, Redemption, Stewardship

We say in our church that the offering is a sacrament of the free church. What we mean by that is that we believe it is a blessing to be able to govern and support our religious community ourselves—to make possible by our generosity everything we dream of and do to live out our shared values.Offering | By Victoria Weinstein | January 21, 2015 | From WorshipWebTagged as: Generosity, Governance, Money, Responsibility, Stewardship, Unitarian Universalism

WorshipWeb's Origin Story
Conceived in 1999, WorshipWeb was implemented in late 2000 and 2001 through funding from the Unitarian Universalist Association's successful 1997 "Handing on the Future" capital fund campaign.
We gratefully acknowledge the assistance of the Unitarian Universalist Ministers Association and its members in the development of WorshipWeb.
