First Unitarian Universalist Society of New Haven

Wondering Aloud
Our Sunday services explore insights from world religion, philosophy, and earth-based spiritual traditions. We are a warm and open, member-led community, whose small size fosters connectedness. We grow vegetables and imagination.

The First Unitarian Universalist Society of New Haven has provided a home for liberal religion since 1836. Our member-led services are held at our meetinghouse Sundays at 10:30 am. Our meetinghouse is located at 608 Whitney Avenue in the Whitney Avenue Historic District of New Haven, 1.3 miles north of the New Haven Green and about one-half mile south of the town of Hamden. You can also join our services using Zoom web conferencing.
Please join us for coffee and refreshments after the service.

January 11 - "The Film That Changed My Life."
Like last year's service The Book That Changed My Life, this service asks everyone to think of a film that actually changed the course of their lives. Not necessarily a great film or the best film you ever saw, but one that made a difference in how you lived. Come prepared with 2 or 3 minutes about your experience. Coordinated by Yann.

January 18 - "The Climate of Change: MLK Jr and the Music of the Civil Rights Movement:
A sharing of meanings and music 1958 -1968 from memories of a kid in Detroit."
Coordinated by Ben and Shula

January 25 - "Sources of Transcendence."
What activities do you do that take you outside of your concerns, that provide a rhythm that sets your mind at ease? Members will share their own sources of transcendence, with an invitation for all to share theirs. Coordinated by Lynne.
