Sunday Services begin at 10:30 am at 4775 SW 21st Street in Topeka, KS. We are currently without a minister, and our programs are lay-led.  We endeavor to present a variety of inspiring topics that illustrate or relate to our Eight Principles and our UU Values.  

Children and Youth will begin the morning in Scanland Hall with the adults. After the Time for All Ages, the children and youth will be excused to go to age-appropriate activities. Some Sunday programs are multigenerational, and for these the children and youth will remain in Scanland Hall with the adults.

We are grateful for the contributions of our Sunday morning AV Team: Jake Starr and Valerie Eakes Kann.

Our October theme is Courage.
