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).

  • Red Cross CPR Training

    October 10, 2026  9:00 am – 2:00 pm
    Fellowship Hall

    Oct    10   Red CrossCPR training.

      Over 350,000 Americans suffer out-of-hospitalcardiac arrests annually. Nearly 90% of these are fatal because fewerthan half receive immediate bystander CPR. Immediate trained CPR can double ortriple a victim’s chance of survival, making the lack of  CPR a leadingfactor in these deaths. This training willdramatically reduce (if not eliminate) this risk at Judson.

     30 people have signed up to complete 2 1/2 hours ofonline training and an in-person, hands-on training lesson, conducted in twosessions: morning and early afternoon. A lunch will be servedbetween the morning and afternoon sessions—more info tofollow.
