Services cover a wide variety of topics related to the values of the Unitarian Universalist Association. Childcare and religious education is always available for children and youth. Coffee hour follows each service, providing us with an opportunity for fellowship and socialization as we discuss the topic of the day, or other issues on members’ minds. Summer services vary. They are less formal, and include a social aspect, so be sure to review this page to know what is happening each week.

Book Discussions: These discussions usually take place September to May, focusing on a non-fiction book dealing with a contemporary social action topic such as climate change, racism, or economic inequities.

​
Sunday, March 9 – “Spirituality or Social Action?,” service w/Dennis Peters
​
Welcome to a discussion of a “dirty secret” of Unitarian Universalism. Not only do we have two names that do NOT roll comfortably off the tongue — most of the time we try to abbreviate it somehow: “UU” or just “Unitarian.”
​
But we also have two very definite and opposing personalities to our churches and our members. Even the word “church” can be uncomfortable. “I don’t belong to a church,” you say indignantly. “I belong to a fellowship!” Or, “I belong to a society!”
​
Sunday, March 16 – Spring Equinox Service, w/Jack & Sherry Hagen
​
A Celebration of the turning of the Wheel. Be ready to participate with songs and chants. Bring your thoughts of spring and what it means to you. 10-11 a.m. at the Unitarian Society of Menomonie.
​
Sunday, March 23 – “If Tomorrow Was the End of the World,” service w/Dennis Peters
​
There are plenty of stories out there about this happening, reaching the end through disease, conflagration, meteor or comet strike, etc. Let’s assume we have an end happening, one that gives us a little time between knowing and the ending. What will you do with that time?
Sunday, March 30 – We will host a speaker from Cairn House, the homeless shelter in Menomonie.
​
