Services: Sunday Mornings 10:15am
Religious education for children and child care for babies is also offered.

• We are a group of people who gather to pursue our spiritual journey, bolster one another in fellowship and seek to improve our community.
• We welcome all persons, regardless of race, sexual orientation or other social factors.
• We are a religion based in shared values, not necessarily shared beliefs.
• We have a diverse membership, including humanists, Buddhists, Christians, atheists, and Earth-centered believers -- even those who don't fit neatly into such categories.

If you are looking for an open minded congregation
that allows you to seek your own spiritual truth,
while upholding the worth and dignity of every person,
we are the religious home for you.

SUNDAY SERVICES:

August 3: —“Talking Heresy." with Rev. John Biedler.

During the Inquisition of the Middle Ages, heretics were the ones who just couldn't quite see it the way the priests or the pope or whoever was in charge saw it. These were the folks who kept questioning the norm, people who just wouldn't stop thinking other truths and other possibilities than the orthodoxy of their day. Maybe you too are a heretic -- in our day and time. Maybe you’ve been looking for a place where you can express free and open questions when it comes to religious matters. Maybe you’ve been looking for Unitarian Universalism. Let’s talk heresy. Also on August 3, during the worship service, there will be a special Child Dedication Ceremony for Jasmyn Joy Allen Zaker to which all are welcome.

August 10: "Stress: Its Causes, Effects, and What to Do About It.”

Diana Knaebe from the Heritage Behavioral Center will give us an overall view of those factors which cause the most stress in our lives and point out how stess affects us both physiologically and psychologically. She will then give us some possible ways to reduce the stress in our lives.

August 17: “The Harmony of Science and Religion."”

David Draves is Chairman of the Spiritual Assembly of the Baha'is of Decatur. David will discuss the basic terminology, using quotations to present the Baha'i teaching and talk about some of the implications that those definitions have for the human race.

August 24: "The Effects of Poverty on Decatur's School Children" with Jennifer Raleigh

This presentation will provide an understanding of what language is, how poverty effects the development of language, what implications it has, and some possible ideas to help develop language skills. Other portions of this service will include data with regard to the ongoing efforts to measure and improve the effectiveness of education institutions in Decatur and Macon County for the purpose of improving our whole community. Stay for discussion after the service!
