-Discover Our Tradition – learn the unfolding story of Unitarian Universalism through the lens of healing disconnection.
-Build Connections – practice the deep listening and sharing that make small groups so life-giving in UU congregations.
-Find Our Next Step – discern how each of us can walk more deeply with this community, whether as a newcomer or a longtime member.
Who is UU Compass for?
-Newcomers who want more than information — a real taste of UU community.
-Long-time members seeking to reconnect with UU values and practices.
-Teens and adults alike, eager to walk together across generations.
Whether you’re brand new or have been here for decades, UU Compass will help you find your bearings, discover companions, and chart the next step of your journey.

Climate Justice Revival – Part 3: Action Planning Workshop
Join us for Part 3 of our Climate Justice Revival, where we will focus on building our congregational action plan for climate justice.
You do not need to have attended a prior Climate Justice Workshop—everyone is welcome.
For the first time in memory, the entire Unitarian Universalist ecosystem is mobilizing together for climate justice. We are all deeply aware of the urgency of the climate crisis. Even seasoned environmental advocates often feel overwhelmed or powerless. But together, we are powerful.
Thousands of UUs across the globe are uniting in a denominational Climate Justice Revival, aimed at re-energizing our shared commitment and launching coordinated, effective action.
During our congregational workshop, we will:
-Review our insights and goals from Workshop 2 and make an Action Plan
-Continue working on the Green Sanctuary program
-Renew our Sacred Circles and recommit to shared purpose
This is a rare moment of collaboration and collective purpose across UU congregations. It's not often that our churches act in concert, and this Revival series is a unique opportunity to be part of something larger than ourselves. The day promises not only to be meaningful, but also energizing and fun.
Let’s join hands in faith, courage, and action.
