Upcoming Sunday Service
November 8, 2026 - 10:30 AM
Rituals of Healing
Rev. Clare L. Petersberger, Kara Tyler, Director of Religious Education, Kris Faatz, TUUC Music Director, and The TUUC Choir
When the late scholar of the world religions, Huston Smith, was asked how he started his days, he responded that he greets the sun the way a Winnebago medicine man taught him to do; followed by praying an Islamic morning prayer to Allah; followed by engaging in a half hour of hatha yoga; followed by reading a chapter from the Bible and only then getting a cup of coffee. I imagine many Unitarian Universalists would start with the cup of coffee or tea or breakfast and then discern what spiritual practices they want to do next. On this Sunday following the mid-term elections, we are going to engage in rituals not unlike Houston Smith’s to honor beauty; to bless what is good; to lift our voices and hearts in song; and to create our collective vision for the future. Dress comfortably. You do not need to bring a yoga mat. Coffee will be served after worship. And we will engage in another Unitarian Universalist ritual---a town hall. We will listen as we share what we need from (and hope to offer) one another in community in the months to come.
Our Mission and Vision
Grow and strengthen the present and future of the church by drawing in newcomers who are seeking community, cultivating new members, and deepening engagement with existing members and friends, online and in person.
Nurture resilient community, grounded in joy, creating connection and belonging through inclusive approaches to faith formation, programming, and social, racial, economic, and environmental justice work.
Join us!
The best way to discover us is to worship with us on Sunday morning—either online or in the building. Everyone is welcome. You will find a religious community dedicated to walking together in the ways of truth known or to be made known to us. Love is at the center of our faith tradition. Our partners in the wider community serve human needs for food, shelter, education, dreams, and healthy natural environments.
Come visit us! We'd love to meet you.

I belong to TUUC because it is a church home where I find a community, classes, get-togethers, and events of education and spirituality. It is where my beliefs are respected and we join together in diversity and peace. I love to learn about different religious beliefs, writings, and philosophies without being told what to believe or limited by religious dogma. I like that rather than dogma, there are values and goals that support human dignity, equality, compassion, justice, and respect for nature.
