Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Stanislaus County

Newcomers

This is a page for newcomers - people who haven't come to our church, or have come just once. It is mostly a guide to other pages. First, though, a welcome from our former minister, Rev. Grace Somons, who retired in October, 2011:

Welcome to the UUF of SC web site! We're glad you're interested in the Fellowship. We hope you will look at several of our pages and that you'll like what you see. Whether you're browsing, gathering information or looking for a spiritual home, you'll find things that are helpful. Want more information? E-mail us, call, or best yet, come to one of our services. We're always happy to have visitors!

And now, to get you started . . .

We are at 2172 Kiernan Avenue, in Modesto. Our Map and directions page will get you there.
We meet on Sunday mornings; the exact time varies with the season:
Two services, at 9:30 and 11:00 am, starting September 11, 2011;
One service, at 10:00 am, starting May 27, 2012.

We have two FAQ pages for you,
General questions about Unitarian Universalism
and
Specific questions about visiting our church.

We have a short page to answer the question What can I expect the first time I visit?

Our Beliefs page will tell you what we believe. While just under half of us believe in a supreme being [read more about that], we all believe in exploring spiritual matters.

About Us is an entire sub-directory. It has a multi-page history of our congregation, and pages for members, staff, committees, and circle dinners. It has two picture galleries, one a virtual tour of our campus, one of our classroom building.

Our Sunday Services page will give you an idea of what we talk about on Sunday. We have two collections of sermons on-line, one from Rev. Grace's Simons, who retired in October 2011, one from our Guests.

Our Children's page will tell you what we're doing this year. It also has a 130-year old mission statement and an editorial comment on mission statements. The editor isn't fond of mission statements, but he admires courage.

We welcome GLBT people. We are a Welcoming Congregation.

Our Building Tour will show you our church buildings. We have a special tour of our new (as of November 2010) Classroom Building.

Our Faith in Action pages have some more pictures.

You'll notice the navigation bar repeats the links above. We have the bar on every page. Our web master thinks being consistent is more important than changing his socks.
