Sunday 10:00 a.m. Service Schedule

 

Unitarian Universalists claim no statement of doctrine. We believe there is no one right way to lead a religious or spiritual life. We value each individual’s spiritual journey, and believe in reason, freedom, equality, and love. Join us as we gather in community, seeking peace and justice for all persons.

Mt. Vernon Unitarian Universalist Fellowship, at 1600 Isabella Ave. in Mt. Vernon, embraces diversity and liberal religious thought.   Lay-led services are held at 10:00 am, in person on the first three Sundays of the month and on Zoom on the last Sunday of the month. Because we are lay led, every week is different.
