First Unitarian Universalist Society of New Haven

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.

Past Recipients

February Services

Sundays 10:30 am

Fellowship and refreshments after service.

Feb. 3: “The Star and the Marriage of Opposites.”
As the bell tolls from the far tower the star rises on a divided land. We shall honor Imbolg and Lunar New Year with an examination of the imagery of the seventeenth of the Tarot "Trumps" (also called "Major Arcana," but worry not, our presentation will avoid the arcane). The dialectic of the will and the understanding will be a focus. Coordinators: Lynne Charles and Francis Braunlich.

Feb. 10: “The 50th Horseman at the Turquoise Cross of Venus.”
The serpent of our recent lunar eclipse lends its name as we celebrate candlemas and make the Brigid’s cross that will carry us through the new year. Service coordinated by Redleaf, aka Gaianne Jenkins.

Feb. 17: Topic to be announced
Celebrating St. Valentine's day. Coordinated by Theresa Bergherr.

Feb. 24: “Making Friends and Building Community.”
We will explore both some of the benefits and difficulties with friendship and community. Coordinated by Bob Caruthers.
