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.

March 8. “Ring Out, Wild Bells!”
A service on bells and bellringing, coordinated by Yann. Was the world created by the deep boom of a primordial bell? Have bells always been part of religious ritual? How have bells interacted with the major events of people’s lives? What did the bells of London churches say to each other and why? How are British bells different from the bells of all other countries? Did a bell influence the most famous Russian icon painter in history?

March 15. “Sunrise Movement, Climate Justice and Yale Fair/Share Campaign.”
Clara Dewey visits us again with an update on the activities of CT’s Sunrise Movement. Coordinated by Yann.

March 22. "Spring Equinox: The Bright Hazelwood Fire at the Crossroads under the Silver Sky"

Co-ordinated by Redleaf.
