Join us SUNDAYS at 10:30am Eastern in-person
Lay-led Services begin June 28 and will be in-person only throughout the summer. Zoom Services will resume September 13th.
We gather on Sunday mornings to experience, explore, and engage our hearts, minds, and spirits in loving and joyful community, grounded in our Unitarian Universalist Shared Values and centered in Love.
Our services feature music, poetry, wisdom stories, inspiring sermons, and rituals of connection and care. They are led by our minister as well as speakers from Unitarian Universalism and the local community. Our topics are wide and varied, addressing matters of the heart, faith, justice, how we meet the moment, and how we navigate the tumultuous world we live in.
Whoever you are, wherever you come from, whomever you love – you are welcome.
Upcoming Services
Summer lay-led services begin June 28th.

Growth Through Engagement (GTE)
Pathways with Cindy Hirshberg & Roderic Hooks
The Growth Through Engagement Committee is focused on identifying, inviting and welcoming new people to Cedarhurst. It is quite predictable that these new people will bring some new ideas and perspectives. What are the most positive ways to have a conversation with a stranger?
Actually, there are some very easy ways to make another person feel comfortable when talking to you. Ways to let them know that you are listening and interested in what they have to say.
This Sunday session focuses on how to get acquainted with people who are new to Cedarhurst and UU, especially when an idea or viewpoint surfaces that does not totally align with one’s own thinking on a topic. How can we build a connection with visitors who are curious about us, then help develop that connection into new friends and members for Cedarhurst. Let’s have some conversations on Sunday!

Is Health Care a Right? with Steve Hirsch
The very first principle of UU Churches states
that we belive in “The essential worth and
dignity of every human being.”
What does that mean in the context of health
care in the United States? Why is the US the only
developed world without a universal health care
plan for its people? As a great health care
economist put it: “Are we a nation or are we just
a bunch of people sharing some geography?”
We will explore this question.
