Making a Difference Since 1901: UUSS’ 125th Anniversary

, , , ,

125 years ago, 11 people signed the congregation’s initial constitution, and submitted documents for incorporation, which were officially filed on March 15, 1901. Over the years, this congregation has made a difference, in the lives of those who attend, and in the wider community, too. How might we continue to make a difference now and in the years to come? Our multigenerational worship service will include a ritual to turn in your pledge for the next fiscal year and then pivot to launch our 125th anniversary celebration year!

UUSS worship services are held in-person in the Great Hall, and also online. To join in the worship service online via Zoom, click HERE on Sunday morning.

UUSS building mask status: masks are now optional, and are always welcome.
