SUNDAY WORSHIP

"Sacred Rest"

by Rev. Shari Woodbury

August 2, 2026

“Come away to a deserted place all by yourselves and rest a while.”

~ Jesus to his disciples

Summer is a season of rest and renewal. Yet the demands of work, caregiving, and civic engagement rarely let up. This gathering offers respite for the weary, and inspiration for a sustainably-paced life.

Attend in Person or via YouTube.

Nursery care is available every Sunday for ages 5 and younger. For the summer, our older children and youth are invited to join us for the Sunday service. We have religious education opportunities available on weeknights for older children, youth, and families. Details available here.

Land Acknowledgment
It is appropriate to acknowledge that the First Unitarian Church of Omaha occupies the traditional treaty lands of the Omaha and Otoe-Missouria Tribal Nations whose sovereignty existed long before the state of Nebraska. We would also like to express our respect to the Ponca Tribe of Nebraska, the Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska, the Santee Sioux Tribe of Nebraska, and over 170 other tribes represented within the Omaha area.
