Sunday, September 4: “Got Privilege?”

Rev. Bill Gupton

We may not think we’ve got privilege. But we do. We all do. Let’s unpack this uncomfortable word, and this uncomfortable subject.

Worship Associate: Roger Miller.

Sunday, August 14: “Go to Church. See What Happens.”

Rev. Bill Gupton

We often choose whether or not to go to church, any given Sunday morning, based on what the “topic” is going to be. What if we went because we wanted to be with one another?

This morning we can promise you some of your favorite Heritage traditions – like Candles of Community, our covenant, our benediction, our outreach offering, etc. – but we can’t promise you what will happen. Go ahead. Be adventurous. Go to church. See what happens.

Worship Associate: Jenny Hamerstadt.

Sunday, August 7: “What the Heck is Going On?”

Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA) President Rev. Dr. Susan Frederick-Gray, at the UUA’s General Assembly, June 2022

Rev. Bill Gupton and many others

Earlier this summer, thousands of UUs gathered in a hybrid setting (in person and online) to shape the future direction of Unitarian Universalism at the annual UUA General Assembly. Perhaps you’ve heard rumors that dramatic changes are afoot. Here’s your chance to find out what’s going on in Unitarian Universalism from those who were present (both in person and virtually) at this year’s G.A.

Worship Associate: Lisa Prantl.

Sunday, July 31: “What I Did at Summer Camp”

Rev. Bill Gupton and many others

It’s been some time since we were able to do one of these kind of summer services, because it’s been some time since Unitarian Universalists were able to gather in person at summer camp. But this year, we could – and we did! Come learn from participants what UU summer camp is really like. See the smiling faces of happy UUs together. Hear camp songs and hear campfire stories. Join in the fun!

Worship Associate: Jenny Hamerstadt.

Sunday, July 24: “Meaningful Moments in Music”

Mimi Sinclair and Steph Tacy

As Plato so beautifully stated, ‘Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything.’ This Sunday we’ll immerse ourselves in live music shared by fellow Heritage members and friends, and experience the many ways music touches us so deeply.

Sunday, July 17: “Woven in a Single Garment of Destiny”

Rev. Dr. Susan Frederick-Gray and Rev. Erika A. Hewitt

Rev. Susan Frederick-Gray and Rev. Erika Hewitt

This morning, we truly go “hybrid” in our worship, bringing you a pre-recorded service led by the President of the Unitarian Universalist Association, Rev. Susan Frederick-Gray, and Rev. Erika Hewitt, the UUA’s Minister of Worship Arts. What is the meaning—spiritual, relational, ethical—of “covenant”? How are we in covenant with one another, and what happens if we fall out of that covenant? Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. told us we are “woven in a single garment of destiny.” How might that insight inspire us today?

For those gathering in our sanctuary to watch today’s service, we will be led by Worship Associate Bob Lamb and enjoy many of our traditional in-person Heritage rituals, including Candles of Community.

Sunday, July 10: “Time to Slow Down”

Meg McGuire

Meg McGuire

These are urgent times. They long have been. And yet, there are powerful voices, many at the center of justice work, urging us to slow down. We’ll engage this paradox and the spiritual and practical lessons it might offer to us.


Meg McGuire (she/her/hers) is in Preliminary Ministerial Fellowship with the Unitarian Universalist Association. After graduating from seminary at Starr King School for the Ministry and completing her internship in San Francisco, Meg is grateful to currently be spending some time in her hometown of Columbus while she completes a Chaplaincy Residency. She is delighted to make the drive down I-71 to meet us in person and preach for us at Heritage after preaching virtually here last summer.

Sunday, July 3: “Celebrating Community”

Steph Tacy and others

With all of the heart-wrenching events happening here in our city, our state, our nation and our world, it’s reassuring to know that we have a place that is safe, welcoming and worth celebrating. That place is Heritage! That “place” is US! Come to church, in person or via Zoom, to be embraced within Community as we celebrate the love that is the spirit of this church. We’ll have a shortened worship service and spend the rest of the glorious morning in fellowship outside, weather permitting, and/or in the Great Hall. Bring a brown bag lunch or some kind of refreshment; bring lawn chairs or a blanket for grassy area seating. Let’s have a Heritage picnic. We’ll have a few activities available for kids and adults as well. Come, celebrate with us!

Sunday, June 26: “Rights and Wrongs”

Forces on the Lincoln Memorial steps, June 2, 2020

Rev. Bill Gupton

(10:30 a.m. live service)

We live in a time when – amazingly, and alarmingly – rights and freedoms in this country are being taken away. Americans are being stripped of their rights, sometimes slowly and subtly, sometimes painfully and very publicly. Elected officials and ideological judges are threatening our civil rights, our voting rights, our personal freedoms – even our right to assemble and peaceably protest. As people of faith, as a people whose very principles speak of freedom and the right of conscience, it is our moral obligation to resist this slide toward authoritarianism. (Worship Associate: Roger Miller.)

“UUA General Assembly Worship”

(12:30 p.m., livestream)

Stick around after this morning’s Heritage Church worship, or grab some lunch and come back, to watch the annual worship service from the Unitarian Universalist Association General Assembly. Watch in the sanctuary with your HUUC friends, where we will be livestreaming that service – which is the largest annual gathering of UUs in the world – or watch at home. Learn more about this service here:
https://www.uua.org/ga/program/highlights/sunday-morning-worship

The worship service will be livestreamed on this web page: https://www.uua.org/ga/off-site/2022

Sunday, June 19: “Service is Our Prayer”

Three members of Heritage UU Church prepare to march across the John A Roebling Bridge on August 8, 2015, commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Voting Rights Act.

Worship Leaders: “A Gang of Us”

In our covenant we say “service is our prayer” yet ‘service’ can mean many different things. Even small acts mean a lot, and as a community we are even more powerful. Come learn, make connections, and leave feeling uplifted and empowered! (And, if you’re involved in a cause you’d like represented, please send a picture or logo and feel free to wear a t-shirt to the service!) Send picture or logo to:
