What do we believe?
Unitarian Universalists bring a variety of beliefs to our community. However, we all promote and affirm the following principles:
- The inherent worth and dignity of every person
- Justice, equity and compassion in human relations
- Acceptance of one another and encouragement to spiritual growth in our congregation
- A free and responsible search for truth and meaning
- The right of conscience and the use of the democratic process within our congregations and in society at large
- The goal of world community with peace, liberty, and justice for all
- Respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part
- Individual and communal action that accountably dismantles racism and systemic barriers to full inclusion in ourselves and our institutions.
What does worship look like at UFL?
Our services start at 10:45 am every Sunday with music, our chalice lighting and the lighting of candles for joys and concerns from the congregation. The service lasts about an hour, and each week you’ll hear words of wisdom and insights relating to the month’s theme.
Our speakers include members of our worship team, guest ministers, people who are making a difference in the local community or members of the congregation. After a service full of singing and silent meditation, there is time for a collective discussion about what we’ve learned.
Attending in Person: We would love to see you at our accessible building. There is plenty of parking and the greeters can answer any questions that you have about how the service works. We invite you to come as your are and wear what feels comfortable to you . You are invited to stay for refreshments and conversation after the service.
Attending Virtually: Feel free to sign in at 10:30 and introduce yourself. You can also join our on-line participants for fellowship and conversation after the service.
