What is Sunday mornings all about for Unitarian Universalists? Why do we get together for “worship” when so many of us do not profess allegiance to or belief in any particular god or deity (or gods or deities)? Why do we observe rituals and participate in liturgies? Why do we say prayers, sing hymns, take up an offering, or do any of the other things we do on each Sunday morning at 11:00? How are we to make sense of all this as we seek to shape meaning out of our lives?
