spiritual life

MEDITATION

A small group meets each Wednesday in the sanctuary for a time of meditation and shared prayer. No prior experience with meditation needed! One person shares a brief reflection, followed by 20 minutes of silence, and then prayer for any needs raised by the group. We meet between 12:10pm and 12:50pm so that workers can fit this in during their lunch hour. Contact UCT’s office (850-878-7385) for further information.

LIFE STORIES GROUPS

The first Life Stories group began in 2004 and in 2010 we will commence our 7th group. These gatherings provide an opportunity for each member to share their “life story” uninterrupted for about an hour and be affirmed in their life journey. Members grow into a close and supportive community. We have had one men’s group, one mixed LGBT group, and 6 women’s groups. Several have continued to meet monthly. They are open to people outside of UCT as well as within, but once one is established and membership closes, newcomers must wait for a new group to form.

Pastor Nancy Dahlberg

I began my ministry at UCT in March 2010, after serving a UCC church in Central Pennsylvania for ten years. My core values as a pastor are these:

I believe that each person is unique and valuable. It is the will of God that every person belongs to a family of faith where they have a strong sense of being valued and loved.

I believe that each person is on a spiritual journey and that each of us is at a different stage of that journey.

I believe in the “possibility of people.” In the UCC, members, congregations, and structures have the breathing room to explore and to hear ... for after all, God is still speaking.

A Welcome To All

We are a church that takes Jesus’ command to “love one another” seriously. We are a welcoming church, open and affirming to the LGBT community and accessible to all who seek to worship with us and join the journey of faith. We expect diversity and look for it in people and ideas. We believe that “God is still speaking” and that every person is loved by God and worthy to be an active, vibrant, and generous participant in the Body of Christ, the church.
