what to expect on Sunday MorningPlease join us for a worship service on Sunday!
Some basic questions about our worship services: When are worship services? Worship services are held every Sunday from the first Sunday after Labor Day in September through the third Sunday of June. We have one service each Sunday at 10:25AM, which last approximately one hour. Where are you located? The Meeting House, where worship services are held, is at 90 Main Street, Hingham. Children’s Religious Education, nursery care, and Coffee Hour are all in 14 Main Street You can click here to get directions. Where do I park? Is it accessible? What door should I enter? You may park on either side of Main St. At the Meeting House, accessible parking is located directly beside the main door. Enter the Meeting House through the door closest to the driveway. You can avoid stairs by using the ramp toward the rear of this Meeting House entrance. Can I sit anywhere? Why are the pews numbered? The original pews were installed in 1755 (and reinstalled in 1930!). The numbers do not currently reserve pews for members. They are preserved as a unique historic record; you are welcome to sit in any pew, whether you are a first time visitor or have been coming for years. Do you ever cancel Sunday services? On rare occasions Sunday services will be canceled when severe winter weather makes traveling unsafe. If you have questions about whether services are being held, please call the Church office at 781 749-1679 and listen to the voice message. Tell me about Coffee Hour in the Parish House. You are warmly invited to join us for coffee, tea and conversation at Fellowship Hour at 14 Main Street, immediately following our Sunday service. Be sure to stop by our Welcome Table for answers to any questions you might have or to sign up for our newsletter. Coffee Hour generally runs from 11:45 to 12:30 and is a great opportunity for members, friends and visitors to get to know each other. What about my children? Children are most welcome! We recognize that you may want to keep your child(ren) with you. Two pews in the Meeting House have rocking chairs for parents with infants. We also offer children and youth programs. How can I get more information about Old Ship? After any Sunday service you will find members of the Nurturing Community Council at the Welcome Table at Coffee Hour. They can help you and/or your children find your way, answer questions, sign you up to receive our newsletter, or connect you with the Minister or the Director of Religious Education. At other times, you can call the church office (781-749-1679), or send an inquiry by email. Additional information about our denomination is available from the Unitarian Universalist Association of Congregations at their website, www.uua.org. |
