Connection

We welcome you wherever you are on your journey.

Welcome to Eliot Chapel's Sunday service!

March 30 – 9:45 am and 11:15 am

"Our Libraries, Our Lifelines"

Jen Bartin, Kristin Davis, Christa Van Herreweghe

Libraries across the nation have been under pressure, faced with threats of censorship and book banning. Three Kirkwood librarians will share why they love their work and how each, in their own way, promotes the love of learning and protects the libraries that can be our lifelines.

Many thanks to Mary Meihaus, retired librarian, for inviting these librarians to Eliot.

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 and youth will usually attend the first 15 minutes of the 9:45 worship service with their families before being sung out to go to their class or group. Please check This Week at Eliot for current details.

We usually offer nursery care during both services. Occasionally on a holiday or during the summer, nursery care is unavailable. Please check This Week at Eliot for current details.

Families may also use Adams Hall for freedom of movement while the service is livestreamed on the large-screen television.

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.

"Facing the Future, Held by the Present"

Rev. Krista Taves

Rev. Krista met with the Youth Group and asked them two questions: What makes you most anxious? What do you draw comfort? After brainstorming both questions, the youth landed here:

What makes us anxious? The future

Where do we draw comfort? Our friends and family.

Come support our youth for their first Youth Worship Service since before the pandemic! y

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.
