Unitarian Universalist Church of Tucson

Our Mission

We transform ourselves, our community, and our world by intentionally living our Unitarian-Universalist principles.

 

Welcoming Congregation

Greetings and WelcomeRev. Bethany Russell-Lowe

Welcome! We are so glad you have found your way here. The Unitarian Universalist Church of Tucson has been a beacon of liberal religion and a place to pursue a free and responsible search for truth and meaning in Tucson for over 70 years. If you are looking for a place where you can explore your own spiritual truths in community with others, you have come to the right place! As Unitarian Universalists, we believe that we need not think alike to love alike. Our community is bound together by our Seven Principles which include: the dignity and worthiness of all people, equity and compassion in human relations, and respect for the interdependent web of life. We take inspiration from multiple religions as well as humanist, secular, and scientific thought. Come join us to learn more!  Rev. Bethany Russell-Lowe (minister@uuctucson.org)

Alternative Worship Experiment with BYO Dinner at 5:30 on Sunday, March 31st 
Last month we had 31 people of all ages attend our first alternative worship of the year. A fabulous turnout! This month, we will start with a BYO dinner and socializing time at 5:30 PM in Goddard. This will be followed by a ~45-minute family friendly worship service followed by time for socializing (around a fire, if you so desire!), crafts, and/or deeper discussion of the worship topic. Join us! And save the date for future alternative worships on Thursday, April 25 and Sunday, May 19. Because two dogs were part of the gathering last month, starting on March 31st there will be a pet free zone in worship for those people with allergies.

Supreme Court 2018-19: Politics, Preference and Principle

Sunday March 31, 12:15 - 1:30 Holland Sanctuary

On behalf of the Justice Committee, winter member and University of Cincinnati Professor Emeritus Howard Tolley will do a forum on the US Supreme Court reviewing recent landmark decisions of the prior year, previewing upcoming cases of import and explaining the basics of the court’s decision making process and ideological alignment with time for Q&A and discussion.

Donate Flowers for Sunday Service

Nancy McKean has offered to coordinate weekly flowers for the Worship Committee. The idea is to have many different folks volunteer to provide flowers for Sunday mornings. Each week we will acknowledge that day’s volunteer. You may bring flowers in honor or memory of someone if you like, and either take the flowers home, or give them to someone else, after the service. Arrangements can be as simple as flowers from your garden or the supermarket in a church vase, or as elaborate as a professional arrangement. Please volunteer for one or more dates by contacting Nancy at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it., or 301-802-4683.

Our lifespan learning community seeks to nurture and stimulate the spiritual, intellectual, emotional, and social growth of people of all ages, stages of faith and levels of religious experience.
