We are a compassionate, welcoming community that promotes spiritual growth, ethical living, and social justice in our church and in the world.


We gather to celebrate life, to minister to one another, to shape a community that hears all our voices, honors each search for meaning, and reaches out to enrich the world with caring. Thus we live our covenant, one with another.

UUCE In the News

Local Unitarian Universalists celebrate and plan ahead - January 27, 2008
http://tinyurl.com/3amaoe

A liberal home for shared values
and individual theologies

Our minister is Rev. Stephen A. Landale

WORSHIP SERVICES

Two Sunday Services - 9am and 11am


October 5Happiness is an Inside Job
Marilyn Junkins, worship leader.
Anna Sontag and Jeanne-Marie Moore, Worship Associates
Anna Sontag will give a Personal Reflection at both services
Chamber Singers; Tom Sears, Music Director; Jean Weick, pianist
We'll explore the idea of "happiness" being a personal choice, regardless of circumstances going on around us. This concept builds on the four spiritual principles shared in previous worship service; and adding the ideas of "happiness" and "gratitude" to enrich the practice.
First Family Sunday Worship at 10:15
Everyone Welcome to Join Us for Stories and Songs

October 12Worship
Rev. Stephen Landale
Sanctuary Choir; Tom Sears, Music Director
Lynn Smith pianist
Last fall, we unpacked and revisited religious language, from "God" to "prayer". Continuing in this vein, we'll explore what it means to worship in a liberal religious context such as ours. This service will include a child blessing and dedication, and we extend special invitation to families with older children (who tend not to join on Christmas Eve when so much fuss is made about babies!).

October 19The Voice of the Prophet
Rev. Stephen Landale
Chalice Choir, Tom Sears,
Music Director: Lynn Smith pianist
As the children's religious education program focuses on Judaism, we'll turn to the Hebrew Prophets, in particular Amos, and explore what such a prophetic voice might say today. What does the Hebrew prophetic tradition have to teach us as we become more of a social-action church, with the potential to be a public voice?

October 26Free Pulpit, Free Pew
Rev. Stephen Landale
Sanctuary Choir: Tom Sears, Music Director;
Lynn Smith pianist
An essential part of the Unitarian Universalist commitment to "A free and responsible search for truth and meaning" (our Fourth Principle) is the tradition of maintaining a "free pulpit" for its ministers. This means that a called minister is free to speak the truth as she or he sees
it, without censor. Yet just as important to this tradition is the implied "Free Pew," meaning that the members of a church are free to make up their own minds, agreeing or disagreeing with their minister as conscience and reason calls. (Yes, in Eugene we might call this "The Free Sanctuary Chair," but "Free Pew" works better poetically...). This service will explore how this arrangement has facilitated genuine spiritual growth in our tradition.


The life of our congregation extends beyond Sunday mornings.

We are a church that celebrates the presence and participation

We have been recognized by the UUA as a Welcoming Congregation.

RELIGIOUS NEWS from Far and Wide - This section contains tidbits and links to recent articles and resources from the web and other media. Some have to do with UU goings on nationwide. Some with freedom of conscience, separation of church and state, medical ethics, or religious shenanigans. In general they have relevance to our open-ended searches for religious and spiritual understanding. - in the last section of every UUpDate.
