Map and Directions


We believe that enjoyment and satisfaction are enhanced by working in harmony with others toward goals based on shared ideals. Our goals help to create a more just and equitable society, deepen our understanding, and expand our vision. The ideals we share are the Unitarian Universalist seven principles.

Who We Are

Our congregation is a cross section of the peoples of Northern Vermont and Southern Quebec. We come from all walks of life. We are of various ages, religious and ethnic backgrounds. We are religious liberals, searching together to find our own truths. We offer no rigid dogma or creed. Instead are guided by a set of beautifully simple principles. We believe so strongly in the first of these principles, "the inherent worth and dignity of every person", that we have completed the formal process of becoming a Unitarian Universalist Welcoming Congregation.
Many of us had become cynical about organized religion before finding our spiritual home in this community. Perhaps you feel this way too and are searching as well. If you're thinking about a new spiritual home, here's what you and your family can expect on your first visit and here's some information about our past that may help you decide to to come see for yourselves.

Our Service This Sunday - March 14

    Canvass Sunday
Brought to you by the Board and Worship Committee
Another promising presentation by the Board -- as they ask for us to open our hearts and wallets -- through poetry, song, and dance (well, maybe not dance.) Pam will deliver the reflection and Paul will give us the nitty gritty details.

Our Services

Services are held every Sunday at 10 AM from September though June. July and August services are scheduled on an "as announced" basis. Our services are varied; some services are led by congregation members, and others by individuals from the area and beyond. We celebrate many of the traditional religious holidays, as well as other lesser-known dates of significance.
