Who
We Are
Murray
Unitarian Universalist Church is a progressive
spiritual community that celebrates an open, tolerant and
thoughtful search for spiritual meaning.
As members of the
Unitarian Universalist Association, we do not promote any specific creed or dogma.
Instead, we encourage
members to develop a personal relationship with the Sacred. We are rich in
diversity with members of all ages and life-styles. As
a self-governing democratic organization,
our members have an equal voice in all decision making.

Our Mission Statement
We are an active congregation who come together in fellowship to maintain an
environment that promotes spiritual growth for individual and families and
affirms diversity of belief. We reach out in a caring way within our church and
beyond with a commitment to build a more loving community.
Sunday Worship
Sunday worship
includes pulpit presentations, guest speakers,
and special presentations that offer fresh perspectives
on religious, ethical, or social topics. Services are
held Sundays at 10 a.m. Music
adds a rich dimension to our worship. The Adult Choir offers an impressive range
of solo and group songs. The Murray Musicians, our recorder
 group also frequently contribute to our services. We have numerous rites
of passage (dedications, marriages, union ceremonies, memorial services) held at
Murray Church throughout the year.
One
of our enduring symbols is the the flaming chalice. It represents
Unitarian-Universalism ideals and has become a focal point for worship. The flaming chalice, like
our faith, stands open to receive new truths that pass the tests of
reason, justice, and compassion. To learn more
about the flaming chalice, click here. For those
who may have trouble hearing our worship services, new electronic hearing
devices are available. When you are in attendance at a worship service, please
ask an Usher for one. They will be glad to show you how to use it.
Attire
for Sunday service is generally "business casual," although some people wear
their "Sunday Best" and some come in jeans.
We have a Visitor's Table at the
rear of the Sanctuary that is staffed by members of
our Welcoming Committee who can answer any questions you may have. You may
also obtain a visitor's packet, a copy of our current Newsletter or sign up to
receive the newsletter. They will also be happy to give you a tour of the church facilities.
In the foyer, there is more
literature about Unitarian Universalism and our church in our literature rack.

Religious
Education
The
Religious Education of our young
people is a joint effort of families and the church community. We strive to
ensure that all of our children and teens feel safe and nurtured as they explore
their spirituality. Our religious education program is
designed to impart to our young a strong foundation of
Unitarian Universalist
Principles & Purposes, in depth knowledge of our Judeo-Christian heritage, and
a thoughtful examination of world religions. We also work together to help our
children make responsible ethical and moral choices as they mature.

Education Prospectus has more information about
our programs and classes.
