Our Vision
We welcome fellow seekers to consider life's big questions and share our loving community.
We are a spiritually inspired urban community of caring people. We derive strength from our diversity, work for human dignity everywhere, and provide a strong voice for social justice in the greater Norwich area. None of us has final answers to the central questions of life, but we are committed to the process of seeking truth and meaning.
We inquire and worship together, learn through respectful religious dialog, and draw upon the spiritual wisdom of every tradition, from every corner of the globe.
Summer Discussion Group
Special Guest: Dr. Christopher Clouet
Sunday, July 30, 2024
10:00 - 11:30 am
Discussion questions: In this polarized time, how do we have conversations with people who strongly disagree with us? Should we even try?
Dr. Christopher Clouet, Professor of Education at Mitchell College, is the Connecticut Co-Chair of Braver Angels, a national organization that is pioneering new ways to break through the red vs blue divide and other forms of polarization in our society.
He will be our facilitator for the session - each participant will have an opportunity to give a brief personal response to the questions. Dr. Clouet will listen to the responses, share his thoughts, and guide the discussion to follow.
2023 - 2024 Sunday Services
Our worship season begins on Sunday, September 10 at 10:00 AM.
We encourage visitors and participants to wear masks if they wish, for their own protection and comfort.
Norwich is our home, and we want everyone to be safe.
Our services draw from eight Principles, which Unitarian Universalist congregations affirm and promote. We live out the Principles within a "living tradition" of wisdom and spirituality, drawn from multiple sources such as science, poetry, scripture and personal experience. We encourage you to bring your own ideas and inspiration to our congregation, where you'll find others who will listen and perhaps even share your enthusiasm!

Church Location
One of our primary goals is to make our church as accessible to as many people as possible. We are meeting in person and via Zoom - in-person participants and visitors may wear a mask or face covering during services if they choose.
Service Time
Feel free to join us any Sunday morning – we’d love to have you! Our weekly Sunday service begins at 9:30 AM. As you plan your visit, feel free to bring your favorite beverage (tea, coffee, juice, etc) and a snack if you wish. We dress comfortably for services (see the Dress Code note below).
Parking Area
Our new location at 67 - 69 Main Street offers parking on both sides of the street, and in the Parking Garage right across the street.
As you face the building, our worship space is on the right side through the door marked 'Worship' - we'd love to see you!
Dress Code
We are not overly formal–most people wear what's comfortable for them and what works for the current weather condition. If you are used to "dressing up" for church and are comfortable with that, by all means, dress up! Most people attended our live services in “business casual” clothing. Please observe the bounds of propriety when choosing your attire for services.
