Sundays at Eliot Chapel

The best way to learn about Eliot Chapel is to come to a worship service. Visitors are always welcome!

We meet in our historic sanctuary each Sunday at 9:45 and 11:15 am. We livestream our service for your convenience.

How do I find Eliot?

Eliot Chapel is located at 100 S. Taylor Avenue in Kirkwood, Missouri. We are at the corner of Taylor and Argonne, across the street from the Farmer's Market.

Where do I park?

There are two small lots behind the church that may be accessed from Madison (the street that runs right along the railroad tracks just south of the Chapel). There are a few spaces reserved for Visitors in the closest lot to Eliot.

Newcomers may park in the Farmer's Market spaces on Argonne Rd. between Taylor and Kirkwood Rd, but members and friends are requested to leave these parking spaces for Farmer's Market customers.

There are public parking lots across from the Farmer's Market and just west of the Market.
There are also a few business lots off Argonne Rd.

What should I wear?

There is no dress code at our church. People wear what they are most comfortable in, and it varies from "Sunday Best" to shorts and sandals or jeans and a sweatshirt, or anything in between.
What about my kids?

Children of all ages should attend the worship service with their family. Activity bags with crayons and UU coloring pages are available at each sanctuary entrance. Families may also use Adams Hall for freedom of movement while the service is livestreamed on the large-screen television.

The nursery is closed from July 2 to August 6 for staff vacation. The nursery will reopen on Sunday, August 13.

Check out more information about our Religious Education program.
What type of music will I hear?

An inspirational blend of traditional and contemporary, selected in collaboration between the Minister and Music Director. Participants are volunteers and guest soloists.

Bread Sunday – Rev. Krista Taves

Unitarian Universalists have a very special tradition that takes place in most of our congregations on the Sunday before Thanksgiving called Bread Communion, Bread Sunday or Bread Service, depending on the congregation. We invite everyone to bring bread or baking that has special meaning for you. It could come from your ethnic or racial background, a special recipe, a family tradition, or even a bread or baking that you and/or your family really enjoy. It could be home baking, it could be from your favorite bakery, and if that’s Schnucks or Dierbergs, great!

As part of our preparation for the annual bread service, we invite you to share quilts for decoration in the Sanctuary. Baby quilts, quilted wall hangings, throws, and table run-ners are welcome, too. Quilts should be clearly marked with your name and be delivered to the church office no later than noon on Wednesday, November 20. If your quilt has a story, please feel welcome to print or type it on a small card, and affix the card to the front of your quilt so the story can be shared with members and friends. Questions? Contact Rebecca Schuder at quilts@eliotchapel.org.

Each of us has worth and dignity, and that worth includes our gender and our sexuality. As Unitarian Universalists, we not only open our doors to people of all sexual orientations and gender identities, we value diversity of sexuality and gender and see it as a spiritual gift. We create inclusive religious communities and work for LGBTQ justice and equity as a core part of who we are. All of who you are is sacred. All of who you are is welcome.
