Our family is entering our sixth year as Unitarian Universalists. We joined the church on 18th and Arizona St. in January 2014 and has proved to be quite the lifestyle change for us. We were shopping around in the fall of 2013 for a church to join to give Ellie some religious and/or theological foundation that we had as children. However, when JoAn took Ellie to the local Catholic Church, St. Monica’s, Ellie just didn’t take good too well to this church and that’s a story JoAn can tell. Pure comedy.
I couldn’t help but notice, that’s what I liked about UU, it’s a welcoming church that announces at the beginning of every service. I especially like the line, “there are those of us who believe in God, those of us that don’t, and those of us that are content with the mystery.”
After feeling pretty comfortable attending a couple services. We sat in on a new member orientation. The man sitting next to me, appearing to be in his mid-30s, was asked how we come to find out about Unitarian Universalist. He replied, “I googled no dogma and you guys came up.” We all laughed or smiled, including the minister, Rev. Rebecca.
