Welcome!

Unitarian Universalists search for truth along many paths. Instead of centering our religion on specific beliefs, we gather around shared moral values that include the inherent worth and dignity of every person.

Join us! We are located at 624 North Broadway in Saratoga Springs, NY. Our Sunday services are at 10 a.m. Religious education is available for children in grades K–12, with nursery care provided for children not yet in kindergarten.

This Week’s Meditation

What is divinity if it can come only in silent shadows and in dreams? Shall she not find in comforts of the sun, in pungent fruit and bright, green wings, or else in any balm or beauty of the earth, things to be cherished like the thought of heaven?

Divinity must live within herself: passions of rain, or moods in falling snow; grieving in loneliness, or unsubdued elations when the forest blooms; gusty emotions on wet roads on autumn nights; all pleasures and all pains, remembering the bough of summer and the winter branch. These are the measures destined for her soul.

—Wallace Stevens

Spiritual Deepening

There are many opportunities to go deeper into your spiritual practice through small groups, study groups, and spiritual deepening programs.

UU Wellspring Program

The UU Wellspring program in spiritual deepening is being offered again this spring and next fall. The group will meet the second and fourth Tuesday of every month, beginning February 28 through May. The curriculum is available at the back of the Sanctuary for your review. For additional information, contact Sue Bender, sbender@skidmore.edu.

The Wellspring Program at UUCSS is designed for participants to deepen their spiritual journey. The program provides opportunities to explore UU history and belief structures and to consider the meaning of the UU faith in our lives. On Sunday, January 8, three Wellspring graduates spoke to the congregation about their experience in the program. Click here to read a transcript of their talk.

Small Group Ministry

Small group ministry offers a way for groups of six to eight people to get to know each other better and to discuss ideas related to Unitarian Universalism. Most groups meet twice a month. Meetings involve an opening chalice lighting and reading, time to talk about what has been happening in our lives, and a topic for discussion. To join a small group, contact Aaron Broadwell (g.broadwell@gmail.com), coordinator for Small Group Ministry at UUCSS.
