Guest Speaker Rev. Marti Keller will talk about joy, both as an emotion and a value. “There’s a long history of joy,” she says. “What has it looked like, and is it the same as happiness?”

Sunday services begin at 11 a.m., but join us early for coffee and conversation. Services include a talk, often by a guest speaker. They also include music, meditation and optional opportunities to share your thoughts. Visitors are always welcome at our liberal, progressive Fellowship.

Rev. Keller, who lives in Atlanta, is a frequent guest speaker at our Fellowship. She’s been a Unitarian Universalist minister for more than 25 years, serving individual congregations and in leadership roles with the Unitarian Universalist Association. She’s also an essayist, a poet and an activist for human rights.

If you join us Sunday, expect something different. Unitarian Universalism is an unusual religion. For example, we don’t share a creed. Our Fellowship’s members include Christians, Jews, Buddhists and subscribers to earth-centered traditions. We also have humanists, agnostics, atheists and people who resist labels. What we do share are commitments to respect the worth and dignity of all people and to respect the planet we share. We also promise to support each other in our own free and responsible searches for truth and meaning.

Of course, there’s more. See us Sunday for details. If you’re unsatisfied with other organized religions, you might find a home here. (Full disclosure: we’re not that organized.)
