Wondering
Aloud
Come
ponder and celebrate life’s mystery with us. 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. Join us as we walk
together the road less traveled.
The
First Unitarian Universalist Society of New Haven has been a part of
the community since 1836. Our
member-led services are held Sundays at 10:30 am,
with
refreshments and conversation after the service. We
are a welcoming
congregation and proudly offer a warm welcome to
all, including lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people.
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. We offer hearing assist devices for the hearing impaired.
