Unitarian Universalist services are similar to most other churches. There are readings and hymns, often live instrumental or choral music. There is a time for people to share significant events in their lives. There is usually a story for children early in the service, before they leave the sanctuary for their classes downstairs. Unless otherwise noted all services and children's religious education programs occur on Sunday at 10:30am. Child care is available.
You are welcome here, to visit and to explore with us. At the end of most services, we hold an open discussion with the speaker. Then we break for coffee and more conversation. We look forward to meeting you and invite you to help us shape our liberal religious community.

Creationism = Criminal Ignorance Why teaching “creationism” and “intelligent design” in science classes is not just ignorant, but criminally ignorant -- unless, of course, it includes the Flying Spaghetti Monster. The Northlake Drama Team returns with creation myths of the Pastafarians. |

Tuning Your Morality Engine Some people have trouble defining morality, but they know it when they see it. So just what is moral and who makes up the rules anyway? |

Taste and See In this period when our capacity for compassion and giving may be exhausted, let us take some time to respond to the awesome bounty of the universe with simple gratitude. |

Death Through Deep Time Eyes Connie and Michael return to Northlake! Their presentation offers us a new and expanded view of death as natural and generative while continuing to embrace the full diversity of beliefs about what happens to spirit, soul, or consciousness after death. |
