“Love invites us to recognize all beings as sacred and celebrated. Our differences are appreciated and valued: all are equally sacred regardless of culture, theology, and experience.” – anastasia birosh, part-time seminarian and part-time church administrator
Pluralism is not often considered a spiritual value, but for Unitarian Universalists who have long affirmed and promoted the inherent worth and dignity of every person – it is a core value. We cherish and celebrate each and every person’s individuality including their unique blend of background, belief, and time on this earth.
On Sundays in May, we will explore pluralism as a core value of our faith from the fandoms that you have long loved to our many means and methods of creating the future.

May 25 “Taking Action Now”
We explore even more ways for you to bring our MVUU values to life and take action in the world.
We welcome you to our Sunday Services whether in our sanctuary, on Zoom, or on our YouTube channel. Here you might sing a few hymns, listen to our choir—and maybe even tap your foot to our band. A reflection or sermon is usually delivered by our minister, one of our members, or a guest speaker. Maybe you’ll come on a Sunday that is interactive or when members present readings and choral selections. Another Sunday may include a celebration of a life event or be devoted to a justice issue. You might catch a humorous enactment expressing one of our values. In other words, no two Sundays are the same at MVUU.
What is the same is that You Are Welcome here.
All ages are welcome: Children and youth may attend the entire Sunday service or participate in age-specific programming. We provide children’s activities with background checked volunteers every Sunday for our community members ages 2-10.
Wear what you please: At MVUU you’ll see casual clothes, shorts and jeans, and maybe even skirts and neckties.
Our building is accessible: We can accommodate wheelchairs, canes, and walkers. We have assistive listening devices. Our restrooms are accessible, family-friendly, and gender neutral.
Introduce yourself if comfortable: We invite visitors to introduce themselves so that people in the congregation can welcome you. Participation is always optional!
Stay for Coffee Hour: We want to meet you, so stick around. Coffee Hour is practically a UU ritual where we gather casually and make connections in an informal atmosphere. Stay for a coffee, linger on the garden patio, or play on the swing-set.
