Unitarian Universalism is a non-creedal religion. We will not
tell you what to believe. We will help you explore your own beliefs.
Unitarian Universalist congregations are self-governing. They
select their own minister. Although UUism is non-creedal, many congregations have
signed on to a statement of principles. Reading these principles will give you an idea of what
you might expect in the Unitarian Universalist Church of Greater Lansing.
New UU Class provides an
introduction to Unitarian Universalist history and beliefs as well as the history of this
congregation. Sessions offer an opportunity to meet our minister, Rev. Kathryn A. Bert,
church leaders, discuss religious heritage, and gain an understanding of the life of this
church. All sessions encourage your participation, questions, and ideas. If you have
questions on when the next class is offered, need child care or other accommodations,
please contact the church office, 351-4081, ext.2. or office@uulansing.org
If it turns out
you can't make the class this time, just let us know. We offer the class three times per
year, so there will be another class soon. We're looking forward to the class and getting
to know you. The next
New UU class is scheduled for Thursday evenings, October 11, 18 and 25, 2007 at 6:30 p.m. Each class is about 90 minutes long. Class size is
limited, so reserve your spot now at the Activities Table, call the church office at 351-4081,
ext.2. or office@uulansing.org
Childcare is available.
