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. Our November theme is Repair.
Adults and children start together in Scanland Hall when the program begins at 10:30 am. Most children leave to attend Religious Exploration classes down the hall at 10:45 am after the Story For All Ages and are picked 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. The service is live streamed to the big monitor in the Gathering Space. Families are welcome to make use of that space as well.
Sunday morning audio-visual during our Sunday services occurs thanks to Dylan Cook.

November 10, 2024: Where My Spirit can Soar!
This year marks the 40th Anniversary of our Fellowship Sanctuary Addition and the 15th Anniversary of our RE/Entry Hall Addition. What would our UUFT world be like without these wonderful spaces we call home? How have you celebrated in these spaces? Past Presidents Lana Balka (1983-84) and Beth Foerster (2008-09) will share their memories and thoughts about the fears, excitement, and celebrations of when these spaces became part of our Fellowship world and the differences they have made in our lives over the past decades.
Coordinator: Mike Wilson
