Unitarian Universalism has jettisoned a lot of its traditional ritual, aesthetics, and practices in its quest to be a “rational” religion.  Ironically, in the last few decades, science has helped us to rediscover that rituals and spiritual practices, when used in concert with reason, can make vital contributions to our well-being as individuals and societies.  Feb 26 marks the beginning of Lent, which actually was observed in Unitarian Universalism until at least the 1980s. Many of the world's religions offer practices, which, like Lent, call for a sustained letting go, privation, and mindfulness. How might we use the 40 days of Lent to become better people?

The first guiding Principle of Unitarian Universalism is the inherent worth and dignity of every person. UUTC welcomes all—persons of various ages, races, gender identities, sexual orientations, theological and political beliefs, socio-economic status, educational backgrounds, abilities and ethnicities. Services are at 9:15 and 11:00am. The building is wheelchair accessible, dress may be casual and visitors of all ages, races, gender identities, sexual orientations, abilities, and beliefs are warmly welcomed.

Children's Religious Education classes are available during the 9:15 am service. The younger class is for ages 4-7 and the older class is for ages 8 and up. Each class is overseen by two adults and emphasizes fun and enriching activities about how to be a better, more caring person and how to make the world a better place for everyone.

Nursery care is available for ages 0-3.

Join us for coffee after both services.
