TWO FAQ
that newcomers often have are:
What should I wear to
a Sunday service?
What you wear is
up to you. Some members
of our congregation dress casually,
and others like
come in their
Sunday best. Wear
what makes you
feel most
comfortable.
Will I find kindred souls
at
UUSIC?
We truly celebrate
diversity at UUSIC
-- check out the
many activities of
our
Programs and
Groups
to see the ways in
which diversity is
source of energy
and growth in our
congregation. Our
core beliefs are
our UU principles,
which you will
find at
About Us..For
information about Unitarian Universalism in general, visit
the web site of the

If
you have more questions
after attending a
Sunday service,
feel free to talk with
our minister, or ask the ushers as you enter or leave
the sanctuary. You are
also invited to join
us for coffee and
conversation in
Channing Hall,
downstairs from the
sanctuary,
after the first
service. While you are
downstairs, feel free
to talk with the folks
at our membership table.
We also invite you to
