We welcome fellow seekers to consider life’s big questions and share our loving community.
We are a spiritually inspired urban community of caring people. We derive strength from our diversity, work for human dignity everywhere, and provide a strong voice for social justice in the greater Norwich area. None of us has final answers to the central questions of life, but we are committed to the process of seeking truth and meaning.
We inquire and worship together, learn through respectful religious dialog, and draw upon the spiritual wisdom of many traditions, from every corner of the globe.

Sarah St. George
This Sunday, join UUCN congregation member Sarah St. George will share reflections titled "Climb That Mountain," from her own hiking adventures in the White Mountains.
Climbing a mountain is one of the few experiences that can be described as equally exhausting and exhilarating, brutal and beautiful. It will make you question your sanity and literally take your breath away. Even when we don't reach the summit, there's wisdom and adventure in each step.
Come share your own adventure stories and be renewed by wisdom, music, and community as we put Love at the center of our shared journey. ✨.

There will be no walk on Saturday, October 11, as we bid farewell to Miss Lottie B. Scott at her Memorial Service. Rest in Peace, Miss Lottie.
We gather at the gazebo near Spaulding Pond and Park Center, do a short warm-up to engage our bodies, and then walk around the pond in silence. The walks take 30-45 minutes, and you walk at your own pace. Wear comfortable shoes and clothing, and depending on the temperatures, you might want a hat or gloves. All are welcome!

We dress comfortably for services (see the Dress Code note below).
| Parking Area (s) Our new location at 67 – 69 Main Street offers parking on both sides of the street, and in the Parking Garage right across the street. |
| Dress Code We are not overly formal–most people wear what’s comfortable for them and what works for the current weather conditions. If you are used to “dressing up” for church and are comfortable with that, by all means, dress up! Most people attended our live services in “business casual” clothing. Please observe the bounds of decency when choosing your attire for services. |
