FRIDAY ART EVENINGS AT UCE

UCE is pleased to announce a series of “Friday Art Evenings” at the church, featuring the work of our own talented artists as well as that of others in the community. Come, bring your friends, enjoy a summer evening with art, music, and light refreshment in the beautiful spaces of our architecturally noted building. The time is 6 to 9 p.m. Help make this a summer tradition. There is no admission charge. The church is accessible. Contact the Church Office, 847-864-1330; uce@ucevanston.org for more information.

WE'RE NOW ON SUMMER SCHEDULE

We are on our summer schedule. Worship services are at 10:30 a.m., in the sanctuary unless very hot and humid weather moves us into Room 3 for that Sunday.

A brochure with short descriptions of all of the Summer Worship Services is now available in the lobby or the Church Office. Or, click here for a PDF version.

The Church Office is also on summer schedule: Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. That schedule continues until September 7.

New to Unitarian Universalism? [11/15/2008]

If you would like to learn about our denomination, you may wish to view "Voices of a Liberal Faith," a video produced by the Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA) of Congregations. You can pick up a free DVD of the video from the Guest and Membership Services table in the lobby on Sunday, or order it directly from the UUA at no cost here.

Nurturing the Human Spirit for a World Made Whole

With historical roots in the Jewish and Christian traditions, Unitarian Universalism is a liberal religion that keeps an open mind about the religious questions people have always struggled to resolve. We affirm the dignity of all persons, and we believe that personal experience, conscience, and reason should be the final authorities in the search for truth. Member congregations of the Unitarian Universalist Association covenant to affirm and promote the Seven Principles of Unitarian Universalism:

The inherent worth and dignity of every person
Justice. equity, and compassion in human relations
Acceptance of one another and encouragement to spiritual growth in our congregations
A free and responsible search for truth and meaning
The right of conscience and the use of the democratic process within our congregations and in society at large
The goal of world community with peace, liberty, and justice for all
Respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part

UCE is a welcoming congregation affirming the worth and dignity of all people.

Love is the spirit of this church
And service is its law.
This is our great covenant:
To dwell together in peace,
To seek the truth in love,
And to help one another.

-- James Vila Blake
