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 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.

We are grateful for the contributions of our Sunday morning AV Team: Dylan Cook, Mat Bordelon, and Jake Starr.

June 8, 2025: Imagination: from Fear to Hope

During difficult times, our imagination can get stuck in a negative loop of anxiety.  Focused differently, the same imagination can help us cope with crises through hope and creativity.  Join us as we learn how to switch our imagination from fear to hope, spurring us to create change in the world around us.

June 15, 2025: Fathers Day: Open Mic

We all had/have fathers. Good or bad. Known or unknown. Some of us are fathers. Bring your stories about your life with or as a father. Let us celebrate or mourn with you as we open our hearts to one another.

Coordinator: Janine Silsby

We will have a potluck lunch after the service.

June 22, 2025: Summer Solstice for Nature Lovers

Why would anyone call themselves “pagan?” Why does the UUA nurture a co-fellowship of 110+ chapters affiliated as the Covenant of Unitarian Universalist Pagans (CUUPS)? What are some resistances to concepts related to “pagan,” and how might they be explored? A nature-focused dialogue honoring the season will follow. Bring your summer memories!

June 29, 2025: Saying Goodbye

The attachment humans have to many differing items – including others we care about, and objects such as automobiles, relics, favorites, etc – makes it difficult to let go of them and say goodbye.
