We look forward to seeing you each week whether at the church or on-line.

Come early to chat and connect.

When joining us on Zoom: you can arrive starting at 9:45 a.m. Arriving early will give you time to check your sound and internet connection.

Newcomers Welcome!

We are glad you are here! When you attend the Unitarian Church of Underwood in-person or on Zoom, you will find a warm and welcoming community. People of all ages are welcome. Families begin the Sunday Service together, and then the children leave to attend their religious education class.

We invite you to join us for conversation during our social time following the service. Very often the conversation from the sanctuary continues during our social time. Although we also use that time to get to know one another and to simply visit.

Dress at our church is always eclectic and informal. Dress comfortably and come as you are. If you are comfortable with jeans in the winter and shorts in the summer then feel free to wear them.

Sunday Speakers

January 12 - Colby Montigue
Sonder: Mirrors Crossing Pathes
The Tao Te Jing teaches us that our path is not predestined, but constantly changing and evolving. When we stop to make ourselves aware of how those pathes cross and weave, we are transformed by our newfound ability to step in toe with each other.

UU Shared Values: Transformation, Interdependence, and Pluralism

Transformation: We adapt to the changing world.

Interdependence: We honor the interdependent web of all existence and acknowledge our place in it.

Pluralism: We are all sacred beings, diverse in culture, experience, and theology.

Colby Montigue

Taoist, Seminary Student, Unitarian-Universalist, Ex-Christian, Queer, and Nonbinary. I have always loved to ask the difficult questions and find solutions to the impossible problems. As a teaching student, I commonly upset professors with my incessant need to know, which led me to learn more about philosophy. Eventually leading me to leave the Christian faith and find a home in Taoism.

Introduction to Islam from a Pakistani American perspective
The Five Pillars of Islam and more...

We bid you welcome, who come with weary spirit seeking rest. Who come with troubles that are too much for you. Who come hurt and afraid. We bid you welcome, who come with hope in your heart. Who come with anticipation in your step, who come proud and joyous. We bid you welcome, who are seekers of a new faith. Who come to probe and explore. Who come to learn. We bid you welcome, who enter this hall as a homecoming. Who have found here room for your spirit. Who find in this people a family. Whoever you are, whatever you are, wherever you are on your journey, we bid you welcome. Richard S. Gilbert
