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. You are welcome to visit and to explore with us. Wear whatever you feel comfortable wearing!
Unless otherwise noted all services and children’s religious education programs take place on Sundays between 10:30 AM and 11:45 AM. Child care is available.
We invite you to remain after the service for coffee and conversation.

People. Look East As we enter Advent, let’s take a look at Christianity – not so much Jesus, as the religion itself, in all its amazing variations, as we reflect on our fourth Principle, “a free and responsible search for truth and meaning.” What wisdom can the Advent tradition teach us about waiting? Northlake Holiday Craft Fair before and after service. |

Another Look at A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens Dickens wrote this heartwarming story as a protest against the then “reform” of the British welfare laws. It can perhaps also be a lesson for us today. Join us in this holiday service. |

Welcome the New — Good-bye to the Old The Burning Bowl ceremony is a time to gather and reflect, identify and release those habits, resentments, and behaviors that we no longer want to carry with us. The characteristics we wish to release may be written out and “released” and put in the burning bowl. This is followed by writing a personal affirmation of our hopes and desires for the coming year. |
