Welcome

“We gather to inspire spiritual growth, care for each other and our community, seek truth, and act for justice.”

The First Unitarian Universalist Society of Burlington is a congregation dedicated to justice, compassion and spiritual awakening. Our community includes Christians, Pagans, Jews, Humanists, Buddhists and more–united in their belief that religion should build bridges of understanding rather than erect barriers of intolerance among the world’s varied faith traditions. Whatever your race, creed, gender or sexual orientation, we welcome you. 

Upcoming Services

Sunday, January 29th - 9 & 11 a.m.

"Question Box" Join Rev. Roberta for worship 'without a net'.  At the beginning of the service you can write questions that you would like Rev. Roberta to answer.  With selection assistance from members of the Worship Committee, Roberta will answer some of those questions spontaneously instead of preaching a prepared sermon.

Sunday, February 5th - 9 & 11 a.m.

 “Standing on the Side of Love”  We take the title for this service from the UU hymn that has become the anthem for human rights work in our Unitarian Universalist Association. One of the ways we UU’s stand on the side of love is by supporting families of all shapes and sizes and configurations. In this multigenerational service Rev. Roberta and Director of Religious Education Martha Dallas will weave the stories of families from our congregation into an inclusive and celebratory worship experience.

Sunday, February 12th - 9 & 11 a.m.

“The Love That Makes the World Go Round”   A few days before Valentine’s Day Reverend Roberta will reflect on the kind of love that transcends greeting cards and flowers and chocolates . As we kick-off our annual budget drive let’s remember the many ways we have given and received love as we reignite the precious connections that will sustain our beloved community.
 

Sunday, February 19th - 9 & 11 a.m.

Our Worship Committee will lead services on this day.

Sunday, February 26th - 9 & 11 a.m.

“The Third Smooth Stone: Ultimate Optimism”    This service is the 3rd in a series on the foundational ideas at the core of our faith. How does religious liberalism maintain a hopeful and optimistic outlook without denying the reality of evil? A thorny theological dilemma addressed by theologian James Luther Adams. (Plan to attend the monthly minister’s forum on the first Sunday of each month at 3 pm to delve more deeply into these ideas.)
