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. For more information about our Sunday worship services, please click here. Fellowship and Coffee Hour After our morning service, we invite you to join us for coffee and conversation in the Unity Room. RE Program 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. We offer many diverse and though provoking RE programs for people of all ages. Here are a few that have been hightlighted in our local newspaper, The Sun Chronicle:
