In a typical Unitarian Universalist worship service you are likely to experience a recognizable Protestant liturgy (liturgy means ‘the order of different elements – like singing hymns, a prayer, a sermon, etc.). We believe that worship is a public exploration of personal ideals. And being a public experience is important. Since we are all trying to grow in wisdom and compassion to help create betters lives and a better world, worship is something we need to do together. In fact, the Greek origin of the word ‘liturgy’ means ‘the work of the people.’
