Fred's Flavorings - August. I have been enjoying the afternoon thunderstorms. The approaching clouds are dramatic with their dark swirls. The lightning and thunder is a percussion symphony. And then the possibility of rainbows afterwards. We have been through storms like this before so when they come, we are not very fearful about them. We recognize the potential for damage, for electric outages, for flash flooding, trees down.

Ban Assault Weapons

Ban Assault Weapons

Thank you, Rev. Fred, for leading us on a protest march to the corner of 15th and Manatee after the service on Sunday, August 11. MUUF made a clear statement to the Bradenton community as we proudly carried our Manatee Unitarian Universalist banner and held "Ban Assault Weapons" signs and wore our black armbands honoring those whose lives were cut short in El Paso and Dayton, Ohio. See more pictures under MUUF in ACTION. To view Rev. Fred's sermon, go to https://youtu.be/8pK2KgmPlko
We lived our UU Principles on that Sunday!

Welcome Guests & Friends

Welcome Guests & Friends

Love is the doctrine of our congregation, the quest for truth is our tradition, and service is our prayer. We welcome you.
Our Fellowship serves as a beacon to encourage and support all in their search for personal meaning. We will not tell you what to believe; we will encourage your questions, thoughtful dialogue, and self-improvement.
We include people of all ages, physical abilities, financial circumstances, sexual orientations, national origins, races, educational backgrounds and spiritual understandings.
We work for justice through love and compassion by sponsoring an interfaith advocacy group, Standing on The Side of Love. We seek to harness the power of logic and love to end oppression. Join us in our efforts. We come together for Sunday services as one congregation. Come, see how Christians, Buddhists, Jews, Humanists, Muslims, Scientists, Mystics, Pagans, Atheists and others find common ground in our Unitarian Universalist Community.
