Welcome to Our Church

Visitors, we have a page just for you!

We are a church of open minds.
We are a church of loving hearts.
We are a church of helping hands.

We're a caring community uniting reason with spiritual exploration. We draw on the wisdom of the world's religions and the results of science. We welcome people of all abilities, ages, classes, races, colors, ethnicities, gender expressions, and sexual orientations.

Is this your first "virtual visit?" I invite you to visit our Welcome page, read past sermons and learn about our community. Or stop by on a Sunday morning. We'd love to meet you in person.

Rev. Fritz Hudson, Minister

 


Upcoming Sunday Services

10:00 AM in the Auditorium

February 7 - "Good News!"

When bad news comes, it's hard but we take it. We cope. But how do we handle good news? Is its challenge to us even greater, perhaps? Can we "take" good news? And, perhaps, can we make it even grow better?

Speaker: Rev. Fritz Hudson
Music: Bassianetto Duo – Pance Zaev, clarinet; Paul Emil Hegstrom, bassoon

February 14 - "The Tapestry of Friendship"

Friends add texture and color to the fabric of our lives. On Valentine's Day, the UU Drama Club – featuring two dozen of our own young actors – will weave together drama, readings and movement in a celebration of friendship.

Presenters: UU Drama Club
Leaders: Dramatists Evelyn Weymouth, Julie Enersen, Shannon Cameron
Music: Flash! Youth Band & Friends

February 21 - " Mecca in the Middle West"

The seat of U.U. faith in our region has long been Minneapolis/St.Paul. Its three large city congregations, for 125+ years, have each voiced a different tone in our chorus – Theist, Humanist, Universalist. Their six suburban satellites have added their own grace notes. This year, to where the Minnesota meets the Mississippi, the national Assembly of all Unitarian Universalists will flock. What carefully grown food will our prairie soil offer up to the alighting pilgrims? What exotic gifts will they place on our hearth?

Speaker: Rev. Fritz Hudson
Music: Unitarian Choir

February 28 - "Lent – In oUUr Spirit?"

A time to give up chocolate? A time of introspection? A time to renew commitment to justice or hope? In surrounding Christian churches, Lent's first 10 days will have passed now, with 30 more to Easter's door. Is there meaning in this time for UUs?

Speakers: UU Worship Leaders
Music: Dick Seymour, organ

Winter Lecture Series: Pakistan and Afghanistan

January 17 - March 14

(In case of inclement weather, cancellations will appear on the church website, www.unitarianlincoln.org)

The obvious focus for a lecture series on Pakistan and Afghanistan is to present in depth those topics that preoccupy news about that region—the current political and military situations, particularly as those situations involve official US activities. While not ignoring those topics, we seek as well to provide an understanding of the history, religious institutions, educational system, and culture of that region.

For more info and complete schedule, please visit the Winter Lecture Series page.
