Intentionally Inclusive, Liberally Religious, Actively Serving the Common Good
We are Raleigh’s liberal church!
We are an intergenerational community of many backgrounds and beliefs. We are passionate about growing spiritually and working for love and justice in our shared world.
Whoever you are and wherever you are on your own religious journey, you are welcome here.
What makes Unitarian Universalism similar to and different from other religious traditions?
Reverend Dr. Elizabeth Stevens, Lead Minister, and Reverend Carrie McEvoy, Assistant Minister.
We try to make things as clear and easy as possible for visitors to get involved in our congregation.
Join Us at 9:30 and 11:15 a.m. This Sunday In Person (Or Online)
Sunday, October 18th, at 9:30 a.m. and 11:15 a.m., “Cultivating Community Care” with Rev Carrie McEvoy, Assistant Minister
When you’re going through a hard time, sometimes the most courageous thing you can do is ask for help. And when someone you know is going through a hard time, sometimes the most loving thing you can do is help with a simple thing – a meal, a visit, a ride to the doctor, a hug. Today Rev. Carrie will explore our theologies of helping and being helped, and will celebrate UUFR’s rich system of community care.
The 11:15 a.m. service will be streamed on YouTube as well as being offered in person. To watch the service on YouTube, live or later, visit here.
(This page will be updated by October 22nd for the following Sunday’s service.)
