Upcoming Services

Hope Grows in the Soil of Uncertainty

Incremental acts of courage, love, interdependence, generosity, and grace are the small drops that wear away stones, carve new landscapes into immovable mountains, and by torrents of popular will, cause sudden changes in the world.

The Power of Hope – Even in a Small Flame

We are called to nurture everyday kindness through small acts of compassion and generosity, which can provide essential support during difficult times. This Sunday, we will reflect on how these small gestures can illuminate our shared path, offering comfort and hope in a world that greatly needs these light-filled connections.

Second Saturday Mindfulness Walk

Join members and friends of UUCN for our 2nd Saturday Mindfulness Walks in Mohegan Park at 10 am.

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.

Our Minister
Rev. Dianne M. Daniels began serving as our contract minister in September 2025, after over 30 years as a member of the UU faith at UUCN.

At the heart of her call to ministry is a strong belief in shared UU Values, the inherent worth and dignity of all beings, and a desire to share the "Good News" of Unitarian Universalism.

The UU practice of centering Love and radical acceptance drives her ministry and her preaching.

"We Are Unitarian Universalists"
This 3-minute video is one of the tools we use to help show who we are, what we do, and why it matters.

Parking Area (s)
    Our downtown location at 67 – 69 Main Street offers parking on both sides of the street, and in the Main Street Garage right across the street from the church.

Our street is getting busier as residential units and commercial spaces in nearby buildings are renovated and rented (like the new Chelsea Groton bank branch at 55 Main Street) - please be careful driving and walking in the area.

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.
