Our faith, Unitarian Universalism is a spiritually alive and justice-centered religion. Unitarian Universalists search for truth along many paths. Instead of centering our religion on specific beliefs, we gather around shared moral values that include the inherent worth and dignity of every person. Come join us this Sunday!

February 5 - “Intangible Religious Benefits”; Rev. Danny Reed

 Hopefully, we all know we receive something especially beneficial through our connection to our church. But what is it? Can it be explained? Quantified? Qualified? As we launch this year’s stewardship season and talk about what we should give the church, let’s not forget to talk about what we get back.

From our Minister: "I know I need a worshipful community in which to grow, and serve, and thrive. I need an altar on which to place human confusion and need, and a temple in which to contain my family, alongside other families that look both quite like, and others that look remarkably, wondrously quite unlike my own. And I need a classroom for the expansion of my perspective and the deepening of my soul. I need a community of loving friends who share both agreement and disagreement, who support me when in the right, rebuke me appropriately when in the wrong, and who expect the same of me." 

 

People with mobility issues and visitors, please park in the Church's parking lot behind Gage Hall. We request that all others park in the Queen Street and  Forever 21(at the Beaufrain and Archdale street intersection) parking garages. Parking is free of charge if you show the current Sunday's bulletin and leave before 1 pm. . OUR HISTORICAL SANCTUARY IS NOW HANDICAP ACCESSIBLE!

 

Our Annual Fund Drive kicks off February 5th during the Sunday service. The following Friday, February 10th, we will party with friends, music, dinner, and cake from 6 – 8:30 in Gage Hall.
