Wear your silliest hat to our multigen Service! Together we will celebrate the joy of community!

At a time when the word “trans” is being removed from public places, we at UUCF are working to become ever more visible in our support for trans and nonbinary people. This multicongregational Service with Northwest UU and 1st UU Detroit will expand our awareness and affirm our commitment to justice and safety for trans people.

What would a Unitarian Universalist do? Sometimes our congregations struggle with the tension between spirituality vs social justice. But what if they weren’t in opposition (because they’re not!)? This Service explores how our beliefs inform our actions.

In UU congregations we practice building, sustaining, and caring for the Beloved Community. Using the story of Stone Soup, we will kickoff our stewardship campaign which will work to care for our community for generations to come.

This Sunday is an ACTION SUNDAY! We will meet in Adams Hall with Michele from Oakland County Foster Closet to assemble birthday kits for kids in foster care. And to learn more about the work of the foster closet.

Welcoming our new March Soul Matters theme of Trust, this multigenerational service will explore how we can build confidence in relationships with the community around us, and how that community can support us through times of hardships.

In honor of our theme of Inclusion, our guest speaker Sayed Mustafa, will share about the spirituality of Ramadan and how UUCF can be supportive of the Muslim community.

UPDATE: Service will be cancelled due to inclement weather.  Please join us on Zoom for a community hangout.  Check your emails for details. What would a Unitarian Universalist do?

A little talked about aspect of UU history is the walkout that happened at the 1969 General Assembly. There were opposing efforts to respond to the civil rights movement which resulted in a split in UU leadership. This event continues to have longstanding ramifications to this day. Come learn about this history and contemplate how we can truly live our values of inclusion.

What makes Unitarian Universalism different than other religions? It’s our striving to be ever more inclusive and loving everyone exactly as they are. In this multigen Service we will celebrate our differences as we continue to build our Beloved Community.
