Sunday Services: Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Harrisonburg Virginia

The Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Harrisonburg holds Sunday services every Sunday from 10:30 AM until 11:30AM all year. A typical service will include the ritual lighting of the chalice and a chalice reading, singing of hymns, spoken and silent meditation, responsive readings, a musical performance by our pianist or guest musician, the sermon/talk and closing words. The congregation participates in the service through the sharing of joys and concerns and lively discussion following the sermon, which are practices unique to Unitarian Universalism.

Because we are lay-led, our services reflect the diverse gifts of the congregation, our guest ministers and our friends. We hope you will return more than once so that you can experience the variety of Sunday morning experiences we can offer you.

After the service, we invite you to stay coffee and conversation in our Community Cafe. On the first Sunday of each month, we invite you to join us for potluck. Below is a list of upcoming sermon topics. You can read previous sermons from some of the speakers on our sermon archives page and on our Community Cafe blog.

Each Sunday BEFORE our regular service, we offer a series called "Growing Together," which consists of both our Adult Religious Education series and various classes. These are held from 9-10AM. Read More ...

Saturday, February 4
Imbolc Ritual at HUU ~ A Celebration of Lights Saturday, 4:00pm until 6:00pm.
Join Amethyst, Willow & Dawn for an inter-traditional ritual as we gather in the dead of winter to celebrate the returning light and to turn from despair. We remind ourselves that hope and life are held in the cold stillness of winter, yet still living within us, ready to burst forth in the spring. This is a time to nourish our hopes, intentions and commitments and to bring them to Bridget’s forge to be tempered with the powers of fire and water.

We will gather at 4:00 and begin ritual promptly at 4:30. Feel free to dress up, dress down, wear your jammies, or go totally glammy. Healthy snacks to share are always welcome! Bring drums or instruments for pre- and post-ritual play. To keep our events accessible we embrace and request the following: A donation to help cover costs (optional) No drugs or alcohol, please
