We are Unitarian Universalists. We are brave, curious, and compassionate thinkers and doers.

UUs believe in growth, change, and transformation. But we also love the familiar things that make our communities feel like home. 💛

Change is part of growing together. And it's okay to need a minute to adjust—even when we welcome it. 😉

A humorous Unitarian Universalist Association meme on a dark gray background. Large white text outlined in red at the top reads, “UUs: ‘We believe in growth, change, and transformation.’” Below, a dark red rounded rectangle with a white border reads, “Meanwhile on Sunday morning... Someone rearranged the sanctuary seating.” Beneath the text are three side-by-side photographs of the same golden-orange cat against a reddish-brown background. Each image progressively zooms closer to the cat’s face, emphasizing its wide green eyes, slightly open mouth, and startled, bewildered expression. A bright yellow rounded rectangle below the photos reads in large black letters, “Also UUs: NOT THAT KIND OF CHANGE,” with “THAT” underlined. The meme humorously contrasts a stated commitment to change with discomfort over rearranged sanctuary seating. The white UUA chalice logo and organization name appear at the bottom left, with “http://UUA.ORG ” at the bottom right. Photo credit: Nils Jacobi/Getty

On Indigenous Peoples’ Day, we honor Indigenous histories, celebrate living cultures, and recognize Indigenous leadership. As UUs, we commit to moving toward action—respecting Tribal sovereignty, upholding treaty rights, and supporting Indigenous communities.

Layered curves in deep red, burnt orange, and gold frame a glowing golden sun in the upper right, accented by thin sweeping lines. Large, uppercase, rust-orange text reads “INDIGENOUS PEOPLES’ DAY.” Below, dark navy serif text reads, “Honoring Indigenous histories, celebrating living cultures, and acting in solidarity with Indigenous communities.” The first “Indigenous” is highlighted in rust-orange, and “acting in solidarity” appears in golden orange. Decorative burgundy dividers with small geometric motifs frame the message above and below.

On National Coming Out Day, we celebrate LGBTQIA+ people coming out on their own terms. Whether your journey is joyful, uncertain, or still unfolding, you deserve love, dignity, and belonging.

Your truth. Your timing. Your story. You are loved exactly as you are. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

On this autumnal equinox, we honor the balance of light and dark, the gifts of the harvest, and the turning season. Blessed Mabon to all who observe. May this be a time of gratitude, reflection, and renewal. 🍂

Question of the Week: What is your congregation surprisingly good at doing?

Potlucks? Music? Organizing volunteers? Knowing Robert’s Rules well enough to be mildly dangerous? 😄

Tell us in the comments: what’s your congregation’s unexpected superpower?

We remember poet, essayist, farmer, and environmentalist Wendell Berry, whose work called us toward deeper relationship with one another, the land, and the communities we share. May his words continue to inspire lives rooted in care, trust, and responsibility. #WendellBerry #UU #BelovedCommunity

Graphic memorializing Wendell Berry, August 5, 1934–August 31, 2026. Against a misty blue mountain background, a large cutout portrait of Berry appears at right, wearing glasses, a gray suit, white shirt, and tie. At left, white text reads: “A community is the mental and spiritual condition of knowing that the place is shared, and that the people who share the place define and limit the possibilities of each other’s lives.” Attribution: “—Wendell Berry, The Long-Legged House.” The Unitarian Universalist Association logo appears at lower left and http://UUA.org at lower right.
