Upcoming Services

September 7, 2025: All Ages Ingathering Service: Water Communion

More Details Live Stream or in person!

Everyone is invited to bring water from a place that is meaningful to them in their life to share in this service. We remember that these gifts of water are reflective of who we are, of our connection and dependence on water for life. In the service as we pour our waters together, we remember how the sharing of our lives in community creates depth and meaning.
Church Picnic in Fellowship Hall and the playground following the service. All are welcome!

  • Cracking the Healer’s Code Author Talk - Meeting Room

    Sunday, September 7, 3:00 PM - 5:00 PM
    As a participant in the Bloomington Multi-Faith Alliance (BMA), the Racial Justice Task Force at UUCB is offering this shared read as part of UUCB Lifespan RE. This book was chosen because of its emphasis on healing and wholeness, providing insights, hope, and concrete actions we can do today to change our collective tomorrow. Based on her decades of experience creating safe spaces for engaging in difficult conversations, Ms. Phillips gives historical context for our present racial conditioning and takes us through the stages of healing, which requires awareness, connection, and action. 
    In addition to the book read, there will be community events with the author from 3 - 5 p.m. on Sunday, September 7th, 2025 and Sunday, January 18th, 2026. Community members will come together at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Bloomington for these events and Ms. Phillips will join remotely.
