Leading the Sunday Service: Preparing the Order of Service

The order of service is the small program we hand out each Sunday morning. As facilitator, you provide the information for the order of service to the preparer, sending it to .

Use the outline provided here: Order of Service  send to    for printing. (updated February 2023)

Deadline for OOS submission is Tuesdays by 3pm before the Sunday service.

Leading the HYBRID Sunday Service at HUU: the Script

The document below contains guidance on leading a Hybrid Sunday service and a complete script of the order of elements (the liturgy) we usually follow.

As facilitator, you will select the hymns, readings, and special elements (meditation, guest music, special activity) that you will use and insert them into the script.

You will NOT find a copy of the script on the lectern so make sure you download a copy and prepare your own script so that it reflects your plan for the morning.

You are welcome and encouraged to personalize the wording of the repeating elements of the service so that the words you speak feel natural to you.
