Sundays

We are meeting in person at our Meeting House at 2010 Whenona Drive. We are also streaming the service on Zoom. You can find the link to join us on the home page or on the calendar.

Our services begin at 10:00 a.m. and end at 11:15am. Services are led by invited guest speakers or by individuals from our congregation. This is an example of a typical service. Several participatory services are Prairie favorites. You will find a wide variety of topics and perspectives presented, as shown by the past program listings on the Calendar below. We also have recent Recorded Services.

Guest speakers are presenters from outside Prairie membership. They are invited to speak at a Prairie Sunday service by the Program Committee. They speak on timely issues which can be related to the UU principles.

Potluck Sundays

Join us after the Sunday Service on the first Sunday of most months to share a potluck meal and sit down together for lunch and fellowship. People bring main dishes, bread, salads, desserts, and also kid-friendly dishes like mac and cheese. All are welcome.

  • Service: "Symbol Tree" by Prairie
    December 22, 2024  10:00 am - 11:15 am

    We welcome our young people (with their energy and noise) to our intergenerational Symbol Tree service. This is a Prairie tradition of love and light in the darkest days of the year. We strengthen our relationships by sharing about our lives. Everyone is invited to bring something that symbolizes an important personal joy or sorrow from 2024. Each person has an opportunity to describe their symbol and place it on our tree. The symbol does not need to be fancy - perhaps it is a photo or a slip of paper with a few words on it. Our offering this Sunday will go to the Unitarian Universalist Service Committee (UUSC).

    We will meet in person at our Meeting House at 2010 Whenona Drive.  There is also an option to watch or listen to the service on Zoom:  https://us02web.zoom.us/j/86387565125

  • Service: "Toast, Boast, and Oath" by Rev. Ralph Tyksinski
    December 29, 2024  10:00 am - 11:15 am

    We will, in ritual, gather around facing each other, and each person takes a turn offering a “toast.” The “toast” is a moment of gratitude, sending words of blessing and thanks to someone.

    The second round of the ritual is the “boast.” This is an opportunity for each of us to reflect upon something we’re proud of accomplishing in the past year—whether it’s small or grand.

    And the third round of the ritual is the “oath.” This is a promise that we each make for the new year.

    We will meet in person at our Meeting House at 2010 Whenona Drive.  There is also an option to watch or listen to the service on Zoom:  https://us02web.zoom.us/j/86387565125
