ALL SERVICES ARE IN-PERSON AND ONLINE

What makes our Sunday service special? YOU!

Sunday services are at 9:15 AM and 11:30 AM. Between services at 10:30 AM there are drop-in small groups for all ages with a variety of ways to get connected. Services are in-person and online. We offer children’s programming, childcare and parent/caregiver meetups, during Connection and through the second service. Visiting for the first time? Let us know! Join our weekly Inquirer's Series to learn more about Unitarian Universalism and our community. You can also join online for the 11:30 AM HERE.

Our building is wheelchair accessible and our Sanctuary and some other spaces are installed with hearing loops.

Children’s programming is also available most Sundays!

Spiritual Deepening Packets 2024-2025

In collaboration with First Universalist Church of Rochester and the UU Church of Canandaigua, these 10-12 page documents, or “packets” for Spiritual Deepening are published each season, as a way for you to connect with, reflect upon, and directly experience the theme of the season. You can always explore the packet on your own, with friends, or in a Soul Matters circle. Click the links below to download the Seasonal Spiritual Deepening Packets as they become available.

This year, our themes explore the six shared values of Unitarian Universalism, centered in love, as recently articulated by the Unitarian Universalist Association

This year, instead of monthly themes, we’re experimenting with another kind of rhythm, slowing down the monthly turnover and placing ourselves into the natural world around us. These thematic seasons center our biggest communal celebrations and are longer—seven weeks each—allowing us to delve more deeply. While the weather in Rochester can be unpredictable, we hope that this way of grounding our collective spiritual lives with the turning of the year will weave us ever more tightly into the fabric of interdependence.
