Service
What to Expect During a Service
•We invite you to be our guest Sunday mornings at 9:30 a.m. where you can dress how you want. The pastor wears bow ties, but people mostly wear comfortable clothing (from casual to athleisure).
•We sing the Lord’s Prayer rather than recite it. We’re fond of Parker Palmer’s version.
•About twice a month we have a “Personal Reflection” where someone from the community speaks for 5-7 minutes about something on their heart. Topics have ranged from why I pray and why I don’t believe in God to why birding is important to me and how I dealt with my grief when my parents died and almost anything you can imagine in-between.
•Laughter is encouraged (but there are tissues in every pew if it’s not a laughter kind of day).
•After the Lord’s Prayer kids are invited to join Jessica downstairs or they are welcome to remain in the sanctuary.
•We invite you to write down on the prayer intentions paper whatever you need to put down.
•Communion is offered the first Sunday of every month and all are welcome to the table.
•We are Welcoming and Affirming of our LGBTQIA+ siblings.
•Our coffee is amazing! (except when we accidentally get decaf!)
•If you bike, take the bus or walk or drive to Judson and then decide you just can’t come in that’s fine too. Test runs are cool. And there’s a livestream (you can click on the link above to see past Sundays as well).

Textile Group
January 25, 2025 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm
Ann Judson RoomHi everyone!
I’m Jason, a new member of Judson church.
I also love textiles and fabric art 🙂 My favorite modality is sewing free form quilt tops.
I learned that Judson had a group, so I asked Eileen for a list of folks who’ve been in the Judson textile group in the past.
I have a few quilting projects I’m working on and I would love to work on them in community with others. Maybe we could get a Judson textile group work session on the calendar for sometime in the next month or so.
If that sounds good to any of you, let me know:
When would be a good time for us to get together? A Sunday right after church service? A Saturday? Let me know what you think!
Thank you! Hoping we can find a time soon to do some textile/fabric art together!
