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 January theme is Story.

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.

January 12, 2025: Everything I Need To Know I Learned From A Little Golden Book

If you are like most Americans, you grew up with Little Golden Books. There is a good chance that many of us learned pretty much everything that really matters about life from what we read between those sturdy, golden gilt-bound, cardboard covers. It’s true!

On January 20, 2025 Donald Trump will be inaugurated as President of the United States of America.  For many Americans and other world nations this day will be a day of extreme conflicts in values.

January 20 is also the day when many Americans and Unitarian Universalists celebrate and recognize another man for his achievements in standing up and resisting racism:  Martin Luther King, Jr.

In honor of the end of January and the Soul Matters theme of “Story,” Brett Huebner and Mindy Baccus have been asked to share uplifting autobiographical stories from any time on any topic.  It promises to be an intriguing appetizer for the 4th Sunday potluck that follows.
