Worship Service
Regular Worship Services
Regular worship services are held in the Sanctuary every Sunday at 10:00am. Most services are ASL interpreted.
Sermons
Listen to past sermons.
Communion
Rite of Communion is observed on the first Sunday of every month. Communion is offered to any follower of Christ.
Music
The choir performs each Sunday, fall through spring, and music selections include contemporary arrangements, classic hymns, southern spirituals, bluegrass standards, and international favorites from around the world. We are also proud of how many BCUCC members are gifted musicians and have written or performed original music for the congregation. Additionally, our sanctuary is home to the only true pipe organ in North Orange County. Music specifically written for the pipe organ is a special and unique part of every worship service. Learn more about our Music Ministry.
Salon Sophia
Salon Sophia is a small gathering of people who are interested in conversations about assigned theological topics. To learn more, click here.
Bible Study
Bible study focuses on the lectionary texts that will be used for preaching the following Sunday. Bible study will be led either by Pastor Jeanyne or Pastor Rick, depending on who is preaching that Sunday. These sessions may also include interesting book discussions. No prior knowledge of the Bible is required. Bring your Bible and be willing to roll up your sleeves to dig into the texts. Open to everyone. Bible Study will resume at a later date which will be announced.
Children & Teens
Children and teens are welcome to join in the worship service. At the close of “Pastor’s Time with the Children,” children may leave to attend their youth group classes. Learn more about Faith Formation.
Nursery
A fully equipped nursery provides quality care for children three years of age or younger. Crafts, games, and story-time are included, and parents are encouraged to visit.
Special Needs
The Sanctuary and Fellowship Hall are handicapped accessible. If you have any questions, or require assistance, please see one of the greeters or any church member. Additionally, most Sunday services are ASL interpreted.
American Sign Language
At Brea Congregational UCC, we’re aware of the special needs of Deaf people. Most of our Sunday worship services have an ASL interpreter. All Deaf people and their families are welcomed to join us and socialize!
We have an ASL interpreter every Sunday except for the following date:
January 15, 2012.
Listening Assistance
Hearing-assistance devices have been added to many of the pews to enable hard-of-hearing people to listen to the sermons, prayers, and music.
Social Hour
Immediately following the worship service, we meet on Palm Patio or in Fellowship Hall for refreshments. Please join us for coffee and conversation.
First Food Sunday
On the first Sunday of each month, we collect non-perishable food items for those in need in our community, as well as unopened, non-perishable pet food items. The items are collected during the offering portion of the worship service.
Holidays & Special Events
Throughout the year we hold services to recognize holidays, or special days in the liturgical calendar.
