Sunday Services
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.
Adults and children start together in Scanland Hall when the program begins at 10:30 am. Most children leave at 10:45 am, after the Time For All Ages, to attend Religious Exploration classes down the hall. Parents may pick them up at 11:45 am. New children are welcome to join our Religious Exploration classes or to stay in Scanland Hall with the adults. Several times each year, we have a multigenerational service (MultiGen). These services are for all ages, and are designed to be fun and enlightening for everyone.
For infants and toddlers, we have a fully equipped nursery staffed with a paid and experienced attendant and at least one volunteer. You are welcome to make use of the nursery or to keep your infant or toddler with you in the service.
We are grateful for the contributions of our Sunday morning AV Team: Mat Bordelon, Jake Starr and Ellie Hanson.
Our March theme is Paying Attention.

March 15, 2026: All about Altars
In religious traditions, altars are the focus of spiritual attention. What we put on them expresses the deepest values of our traditions. Even for the non-religious, there are secular displays of the objects that represent what we value most.

This program focuses on the art of correspondence and the role it can play in helping us to pay attention, foster interpersonal connections, formulate and express our opinions, and both make and preserve history.
