Welcome to the Unitarian Universalist Church of Stillwater
We invite you to come in, look around and get a feel for our church. We are a Welcoming Congregation. You will not be pressured into conversation or membership. We welcome you just as you are. Our members, friends, and guests include Christians, Jews, Buddhists, Pagans, humanists, atheists, agnostics, skeptics, seekers, singles, couples, families, heterosexuals, gays, lesbians, bisexuals and transgendered people, of different races, ethnic backgrounds, national origins and socio-economic circumstances. As we say at the beginning of the Sunday Service, "Come, Come whoever you are..."
If you're not currently a member of our church - we'd like to take this opportunity to invite you to one of our weekly services and/or group activities. You can view a streamed service on our YouTube Channel. click on this link https://www.youtube.com/@uuchurchstillwater9753/live

Sunday Service
Sunday services begin at 10:30 and conclude before noon. Services are followed by socializing and a potluck smorgasbord, arranged with minimal planning. If you prefer to watch the service online, we share it on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/@uuchurchstillwater9753/live. Our live stream does not allow you to see the Trail Markers portion of the service or to interact with others, but everything else is the same.

Music Practice Every Wednesday at 6:30pm
Please put it on your calendar, on “Repeat” as an ongoing event, and come as often as you can to help us craft the music you love at our church! Currently, we are learning Singing Resistance and Justice Choir songs. We’ll be learning our beloved troubadour, Rick Reiley’s song, “We Shall Rise,” and we’ll be learning songs from our teal songbook, “Singing the Journey.” So we need lots of practice to learn the songs we will bring to our congregation, many of which we will teach. So please join us to strengthen the power of music in our church and in our community, as we raise our voices for peace, love and purpose.

Earth Day, April 22 2026
Earth Day, April 22 2026
The theme for Earth Day 2026 is Our Power, Our Planet. Progress does not happen in silence. It happens when people show up. Environmental progress is built through everyday action—from communities protecting ecosystems to innovators advancing solutions. Clean air, safe water, and climate resilience aren’t optional—they’re essential. Every action counts. Every voice matters.

There are times when people aren’t sure if it is appropriate to contact the Pastoral Care Minister, or that they may be interrupting something.

The following is a list of occasions when it might be appropriate to contact me:
1) When you have problems you’d like to discuss, job, children, marriage or anything else where a sympathetic ear might be of help.
2) When you are going into the hospital, or when someone close to you is going in, or when you know of someone else in the church going in.
3) When someone close to you has died or is critically ill.
4) When you are planning on getting married.
5) When it is the middle of the night, and you are in some sort of trouble and you don’t know who else to call.
6) When you are struggling with fears or doubts about the way things are now.
7) When you know of needs that the Pastor's Emergency Fund might help meet.
