If you're searching for a religious home that is guided by a quest for truth and meaning, not by a set creed or dogma, we invite you to discover Unitarian Universalism. We are a caring, open–minded religious community that encourages you to seek your own spiritual path. Unitarian Universalist (UU) congregations are places where people gather to nurture their spirits and put their faith into action by helping to make our communities—and the world—a better place.

Religious Education for children and Youth meets each Sunday during normal Sunday Services. Children will meet with the congregation at 10:30, and move to the classrooms during the offering.

The season of Yom Kippur is a good reminder to us all that forgiving others and being forgiven, that examining ourselves deeply and making positive changes, are all central to living a life of true integrity.People may have riches, fame, power, but if they don’t have integrity then they really are full of wind, signifying nothing.Like all the virtues in life, integrity is something that no one can take from us--we can only give it away.How do we build a life of integrity? With courage, intention, and respect for ourselves.

“A Life of Integrity”
This past month marked the 90th anniversary of the 19th Amendment, which guaranteed women across our country the right to vote.It was a very hard-fought battle that lasted many years, from our great UU visionary Margaret Fuller (whose bicentennial we all celebrated this summer) to our other UU heroine, Susan B. Anthony.Our liberal faith tradition is filled with great visionaries and martyrs who fought for the basic rights of people in our country, and one of the most important of those is a woman’s destiny with her body and her basic right to freedom of choice.As our elections are nearing, this is a good time to remind ourselves of our basic civil rights, civil liberties and the ‘heretical’ freedom of choice which we cherish.
