July 5, 2026: How Religious Was George Washington?

More Details Live Stream or in person!

Rev. Dennis McCarty will observe the 250th anniversary of our nation's founding with: "How Religious Was George Washington?" How did Washington himself negotiate the complex religious tapestry of the new United States? Rev. McCarty will review a bit of the history and try to draw lessons for our 21st century journey.

July 12, 2026: The Possibility of America: 250 Years and Counting

More Details Live Stream or in person!

Today we reflect on the lead-up to the Declaration of Independence made by 13 separate colonies. Over 250 years as a republic, its people have continued to shape this country in response to the varied values and longings among us. Our past is complicated and our present is filled with pain, but the future remains open.

  • 4th of July Parade - City Hall

    Saturday, July 4, 10:00 AM - 1:00 PM
    We are registered to participate in Bloomington’s annual 4th of July Parade!

    Please join us as we represent UUCB to the broader community. This is an excellent opportunity to be visible as a welcoming and supportive space. If you are interested in participating, please register so that we have a rough estimate of our group size. Please also indicate whether you are interested in helping with preparations, whether through sign-making and decoration assembly, logistics planning, music, or in other ways.

    The parade will begin around 10am on Saturday July 4, and follow a similar route around the square as in recent years. Staging often begins around 7am and roads around the parade route will be blocked off prior to the parade; so, please plan to arrive early. The city will send out information in the coming weeks about drop off locations for those with mobility needs. If you have questions about this or related topics, please reach out to Anabel Watson.

    We hope you will join us!
