Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Lakeland

It’s human nature to split ourselves into like-minded groups, but how does that work within our principles? How do we work to have diversity within our congregation and prevent the natural division into cliques that happens in large groups? Please join Tracie Barrett as she discusses the importance of reaching across the aisle to greet our fellow UU’s regardless of their faith practice.

Please join our Earthfamilies CUUPs chapter as they present a service welcoming back spring into our hearths and homes. Many of us do a physical spring cleaning during this time, let’s not forget our spiritual and emotional spring cleaning.

In his later years, Martin moved closer to Malcolm X and Malcolm’s view of the plight of blacks in the cities of the north. Where might each one of them be now? Rev Susanne shares her thoughts.

his month’s intergenerational worship service is in- spired by the 10 Commandments- but not those commandments (although the well known story of Moses on Mount sinai is a topic of discussion in re classes this month). This is the weekend we celebrate Martin luther king, Jr., and thus it is his "commandments", as well as those of some other inspired sources, that will be the focus of our worship. These words to live by can help encourage us to achieve UUCl’s mission to "unite in diversity and advocate for love and justice."

President elect Janet stevens will bring in the year with thoughts about how we grow. Come share her vision for our future and inspire your own!

In 1849, after the Mexican-American War, the Unitarian minister Rev. Edmund Sears penned the lyrics to this beautiful Christmas carol. His words inspire our hopes for a more peaceful world.

The new year is upon us, and we’ll be facing Florida’s own challenge to Roe v. Wade. some Republicans tell us that one can't be in favor of choice and yet against abortion. Reverend Susanne's response is "Yes, we can!", join her at this service where she offers an argument for those in the middle of the road.
