Celebrations of Life

Our Sunday services, which we call Celebrations of Life, take place each Sunday morning from 11:00 a.m. until 12:30 p.m. Each Celebration of Life (COL) has a different speaker, either a member or friend of our congregation or an invited speaker. Our members serve as facilitators of the COLs. The facilitator leads the service, announces the songs, gives special readings, and introduces the speaker.

We love to sing, and music is an important part of our COLs. We have a different accompanist each week and often invite additional musicians to provide special music.

During the COLs, Children/Youth programming is available by advance request and registration; they listen to stories and do educational activities.  If interested please email our Congregational Administrator at office@firstexistentialist.org no later than the Monday preceding the Sunday for which you are requesting that programming.
