Sunday Service Resources

At UU Casper, Sunday services are a shared creation. We welcome members, friends, and guest speakers to lead services that reflect Unitarian Universalist values and our Seven Principles.

Do you have a story, reflection, spiritual practice, scientific knowledge, or justice issue to share? Whether it’s your first time or you’re a seasoned leader, we’ll support you every step of the way.

Contact Elizabeth Jo, Programming Chair, at programs@uucasper.org to sign up.
Let’s create something meaningful—together.

If you have an idea for a small group ministry or other non-Sunday service program that you’d like to deliver or facilitate, please fill out the Unsolicited Program Inquiry form
