Sunday Worship
@ 10 AM • 60 MINUTES
Each Sunday, we will offer in-person worship with live-streaming available on our website and Facebook page. Past services are archived on both Facebook and YouTube.
We offer beautiful music, prayers, a special time with children, and the weekly thoughtful message. If you have joys or concerns that you would like included in the Sunday worship service during the pastoral prayer, please email your message by the preceding Thursday to church@congoroch.org.
During the Sunday worship online experience, you’ll be able to use Facebook to communicate with other parishioners in real time. We sincerely hope that this experience will give you a touchstone to our worshiping community and the sense of God’s Holy Presence in your life.
Sunday School
10:15-10:45 AM
We are excited to offer Sunday School for children Pre-K through 5th grade, with nursery care provided for those 3 and under. Children will begin worship in the Sanctuary and have class during the sermon, then returning for Communion or the end of worship. Sunday School will use a one room schoolhouse style lesson where children of all ages will learn together through story, song, art, and drama.
The Congregational Church, United Church of Christ, Rochester, Minnesota, is a
theologically diverse community united by our faith in God and our call to be disciples of
Jesus Christ. Guided by the Spirit of Christ, we strive to honor the great
commandments: to love God with all our heart, soul, and mind, and to love our
neighbors as ourselves.
Our congregation declares itself to be a welcoming Christian community, open to and
affirming of all God’s beloved children. We recognize the equal value of people of all
ages, races, nationalities, ethnicities, cultures, sexual orientations, gender identities and
gender expressions. All are welcome regardless of physical, mental or emotional
abilities, family structures, faith backgrounds or socio-economic status. We invite all
people, whoever you are and wherever you are on life’s journey, into the full life,
ministry, joys and responsibilities of participation in our congregation.
We know that Jesus excludes no one from his love, and we choose to do likewise. We
humbly ask for God’s guidance as we walk together, embracing this covenant and living
forward into our full potential.
The Congregational Church UCC Rochester, MN has officially adopted through an
appropriate congregational meeting this Open and Affirming covenant on
September 27, 2015.
