Please join us February 21st  at 10:30 for our next service. The topic of the service will be a western shaman's way of looking at life gleaned from the teachings of the Laiki in Peru as taught by Alberto Villoldo.  Our guest speaker will be  Elizabeth Edimiston, from Durham.

We decided at the Fellowship meeting on the 17th  to continue to meet at the Wilkes Family Resource Center.  We will continue to look for a more permanent location.

Childcare will be provided during the service.

We have coffee and socializing before our service at 10 AM.

We will be meeting at the Wilkes Family Resource Center, located at 306 D Street.

 Three practical ideals for getting through the day

1. Want what you have;

2. Do what you can; and

3. Be who you are.

From Forest Church's sermon, "How to Make the Most of Hard Times", see Sermon Archives  or click here.

 

"Our Liberal Faith" 

UU Faith is not a believe whatever you choose to believe faith, rather it is a faith in which each of us is free to believe what we are each compelled to believe based upon a free and disciplined search for truth…

Excerpt taken from UU Faith Sermon by D. Doreion Colter, see Sermon Archives "Our Liberal Faith".


 

:: Service Times and Location
blank space

Sundays  10 AM  coffee time and socializing
10:30 to 11:30   Morning Lay Led Service 
coffee and socializing also following the service


We currently do not have a permanet place to meet.  Rose Glen Village has asked us to find a new location.  Some of the residents were upset at our presence and since Rose Glen is their home, the director felt that she had to ask us to leave. 

We have some ideas that we are pursuing. If you have any suggestions, please contact Joyce Anderson at (336) 844-4856.  We cannot afford to pay very much rent.  We need two rooms, one for the service and a smaller one for religious education for the kids (usually just 2 or 3).  We need restroom facilities.

Yadkin Valley Unitarian Universalist Fellowship

Imagine a church with room for different beliefs. . . YOURS.

Imagine a church where your most difficult spiritual & moral questions
are welcomed & encouraged & explored,
in an atmosphere of enthusiasm, tolerance, love & respect.

Imagine a church where every person is encouraged
to develop & express their own personal theology,
based in the authority of reason & conscience & love,
rather than in the doctrine of any single religious faith.

Imagine a church where everyone is truly welcome,
where human diversity is celebrated,
where human dignity is sacred,
& where the interdependence of all life is respected.

We are a vibrant, diverse, & growing Fellowship,
meeting 1st & 3rd Sundays each month.  We are currently in transition from our location for Sunday services.  Please check this web page and call 973 7839 to determine the location of our next service.  We expect that a permanent location will choosen shortly. 

Come & grow with us as we create the church we have always imagined.
