  • “Wear It on Your Sleeve” (T-Shirt Sunday) — Rev. Bill Gupton

    Sunday, June 9, 2024, 10:30 a.m.

    We Universalists and Unitarians have long been among those who “wear our hearts on our sleeves.” Today, you are invited to wear your heart on the front of your shirt – it’s T-Shirt Sunday! Wear a shirt that has a message that speaks for you: Your values and beliefs, your favorite rock band or movie, a place that has special meaning to you, an organization you support, something that speaks to your unique sense of humor (within the bounds of good taste, of course) – that sort of thing. A T-shirt can be worth a thousand words. What will your shirt say about you today?

  • “The Practice of Attention” – Rev. Meg McGuire

    Worship service for Sunday, May 26, 2024, 10:30 a.m.

    More than just something we pay or give, our attention can be a precious resource, an embodied experience, and a tool through which we can grow what we value most. Guest preacher Rev. Meg McGuire will explore the significance of what we give attention to and how bringing intention to our attention matters, as individuals and in community. 

    Rev. Meg McGuire is an ordained Unitarian Universalist minister currently serving as a hospital chaplain at the OSU James Comprehensive Cancer Center. After working as a labor organizer in New York City, Meg completed her M.Div. at Starr King School for the Ministry and her ministerial internship in San Francisco. She lives in Columbus with her wife and their enthusiastic terrier, where she finds renewal sharing meals in community and biking or kayaking along the local rivers.

  • “Modern Miracles” – Rev. Bill Gupton

     Sunday worship, May 12, 2024, 10:30 a.m.

    We often speak of natural miracles – an oak tree emerging from an acorn, an iridescent sunset, the mere fact that we are alive, and part of an ecosystem on this vibrantly living planet. But this morning, we will consider instead those human-wrought miracles that our ancestors – even our own, younger selves – would never have believed possible. We are so immersed in such modern miracles that we seldom take time to appreciate them. Let’s do that today.

  • “Acknowledging Our Past, Leaning into Our Future” – Rev. Bill Gupton and friends

    Sunday Worship, April 28, 2024 10:30 a.m.

    Join us as we celebrate Earth Day and reflect on our place in the history of this land, and this planet.

    We live on sacred ground. We gather on lands once cared for by indigenous peoples. What is our cultural and congregational responsibility – to them, to the earth, to one another, to future generations? This morning we will acknowledge our intent to own those responsibilities, to repair relationships, and to begin a new and exciting chapter in our history by unveiling a land acknowledgement crafted by church members and friends and approved by our Board of Trustees as an official statement of Heritage Church.

  • “Eclipsed” – Rev. Bill Gupton

    Sunday Worship, April 14, 2024 10:30 a.m.

    This week, a total solar eclipse passed within miles of Heritage Church. Our Senior Minister and his family traveled to Brown County (Indiana) for the experience. What was your eclipse experience like? Let’s share our stories, and explore the significance (in a scientific age, as well as in earlier cultures) of such a remarkable event. Let there be darkness! Let there be light!
