100 Park Ave. Barneveld, NY. 13304 Mailing Address: P.O. Box 236 315-316-1330 www.uubarneveld.org Religion Without Dogma We
offer a church where you are free to develop your own religious
philosophy and find fellowship in a caring and thoughtful religious community.  Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson's belief
in freedom of thought and freedom of belief are manifest in the many
Unitarian principles our founding fathers included in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau were important Unitarian philosophers and ministers.  As a member church of the UUA, the Unitarian Church of Barneveld ascribes to the Unitarian Universalist Principles: ▪ The inherent worth and dignity of every
person. ▪ Justice, equity and compassion in human relations.. ▪ Acceptance of one another and encouragement to spiritual growth in our congregations. ▪ A free and reasonable search for truth and meaning. ▪ The right of conscience and the use of the democratic process within our congregations and society at large. ▪ The goal of world community with peace, liberty and justice for all ▪ Respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part. We are a Welcoming Congregation  Declaration of Commitment to Indigenous Peoples This is a consciously created declaration which you may read and choose to sign. Excerpt: We cannot evolve skillfully at this vital juncture in our collective story if we fail to integrate the teachings of our wisdom keepers. Both reason and conscience require that the precious wisdom of Earth’s Indigenous peoples be fully acknowledged. | Welcome to our Church Community and to our 200-year-old building---now with wheelchair accessibility.

This water should be from somewhere meaningful for you that you have experienced this summer. We celebrate the life-giving symbol of water and a new beginning for the church year!" Sunday, September 18 - 10:00 am Linda Van Slyke "Sabbath: Even Yahweh Rested" "Work/life balance is more than just a catchphrase. Throughout history, it has been a challenge that can cure or kill. Could that be why Yahweh chose to cut Himself some slack? Can we, too, choose to sense the Sacred through rested eyes?" Sunday, September 25 - 10:00 am Alan Hall "Wealth and Happiness" "Do you want more of the good life? Have you been disappointed by cult gurus, television hucksters and preachers of the prosperity gospel? Perhaps you are ready for the Unitarian approach. In this talk we will apply Unitarian religious principles to achieving personal life goals.”

Eve Stevens “Two Centuries of Faithful Freedom in the Mohawk Valley” This year we celebrated the 200th anniversary of the Unitarian Church of Barneveld's church building. We took a look back at the history that brought our sister congregations to this moment and explored what it means for the people of many different congregations, with their own histories and cultures, to be Unitarian Universalists first. Our combined choirs treated us to a variety of musical pieces throughout the service. Whether deeply familiar with Unitarian Universalism, not at all familiar or interested in learning more, everyone was warmly welcomed on the pilgrimage to Barneveld!
