We welcome guests and
new members to our liberal religious community. We view UUS:East as a place
of continuing quest for religious values and their meaningful expression in
traditional and contemporary forms of worship, and in various religious education
programs.
UUS:East, formed in 1969, is a vibrant congregation with a current membership
of about 300. Our Meetinghouse is nestled in the woods of Manchester near
the Vernon town line. Many of our congregants come from other religious traditions,
such as Catholicism, Judaism, and Protestant denominations; some are Buddhists,
Pagans, theists, and atheists.
Our
mission statement:
Unitarian Universalist Society:East is a welcoming, liberal religious community.
Through shared ministry, we care for one another and nurture the search for
truth and meaning as part of lifelong spiritual growth. We are committed to
living our Unitarian Universalist Principles in our daily lives, including
working for justice and peace, and living in harmony with the earth.
Welcome – We hope we had a chance to greet you when you first visited. Of course, there’s no obligation
to introduce yourself during Time for Sharing, but we’d love to talk with you any time. Please
stop by the Welcome Table to speak with the person there, who will be happy to answer any questions.
There are two welcome tables: Before the service, visit the one in the foyer facing the main entrance;
after the service, visit the one inside the sanctuary, near the double doors that lead to the foyer.
Upcoming sessions: Introduction to Unitarian Universalist Society: East (UUS:E)
Name tags – free and helpful!
Just ask the welcome table representative or phone the church office 646-5151 between 8 a.m. and 3 p.m., to speak with Annie Gentile, the administrative assistant. Name tags are kept in general alphabetical order in the wooden racks under the windows at the back of the foyer.
