The Brockport Unitarian Universalist Fellowship is a thriving spiritual community that provides support, guidance, and inspiration to enable the spiritual growth of its members, friends, and the broader society of which it is a part.

Unitarian Universalists do not require a belief in any particular creed or theology, but they do agree on 7 basic principles/values.. Francis David, an 16th century Unitarian martyr said "We do not have to think alike, to love alike."

We intend to joyfully improve ourselves, inspire others, and initiate positive change in accordance with our Unitarian Universalist values/principles.

Upcoming events

To view a video of Carol Taillie about service on Sunday, 01/29/12 on Humor click here.

01/29/12 Sunday, 10:00 AM, Fifth Sunday - Thinking on Humor: This service, led by our Worship Associates, will focus on the gift of humor—how the things that make us smile truly make us feel better—both in our everyday life and in our spiritual practice. 

02/05/12, Sunday, 10:00AM, Worship: Experiencing Transcendence: Winter is still with us, but nature is busy underground and the earth is already beginning to awaken. Experiencing transcendence is a little like that: we’re going about our everyday life and then suddenly we awaken to something beyond it all—love, beauty, mystery, God.  Our Transcendentalist heritage says that these moments of intuition are our most important kinds of knowledge.

02/12/12 Second Sunday, 10:00 AM - Jean Sauberan presenting an overview on the new Brockport Helping Network.

02/14/12, Tuesday, 6:30 - 8:00 PM Book Discussion Group at Lift Bridge Book Shop.  Price and Prejudice by Jane Austen - one of the most popular books in English literature, this is the story of Elizabeth, the second of five daughters of an English country gentleman, and of issues of class, manners, morality, education, and marriage in the England of 200 years ago

02/19/12 Sunday, 10:00 AM, Worship: Cherishing our Humanism: Humanism has had a checkered past in Unitarian Universalism—controversial in the early 1900s, dominant 50 years ago, and now losing its influence. We’ll look at the good and the bad about reason and science, and see what humanism has to offer us. 

02/26/12  4th Sunday, 10:00 AM: Leap Day: This week we’ll have a Leap Day on Wednesday, February 29^th.  There will be a whole extra day in February.  It could just be a day like any other, or it could be a special gift.  What might we do to make it a gift to ourselves and others?

03/13/12, Tuesday, 6:30 - 8:00 PM, Book Discussion Group at Lift Bridge Book Shop, March 13^th: The Madonnas of Leningrad by Debra Dean—a moving novel that shifts between Germany's siege of Leningrad during World War II and the siege of Alzheimer’s against the mind and memory of Marina, an elderly Russian woman in Seattle who is preparing for her granddaughter’s wedding and thinking back on her days as a docent at Leningrad’s Hermitage Museum. (Note: we chose a novel two months in a row in order to participate in the Writers & Books program “If All of Rochester Read the Same Book,”, which will be bringing the author to Rochester for several events on March 28-31.  For more information, see www.wab.org or call Writers & Books at 585-473-2590.)
