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.

Join us for a multigenerational celebration of Lammas (first harvest). This program is interactive and multimodal and encourages engagement, reflection, and joy. Participants are invited to partake of tea and a light repast, meditate, puzzle (there will be a literal puzzle for all ages), draw or reflect, and dance, as willing and able.

August 30, 2026:  What Once Seemed Impossible

Have you ever discovered that something you thought was impossible… wasn’t? Through storytelling and humor, we’ll explore how one seemingly insignificant thought or action can become the first domino in changing what we believe is possible—and how those moments can prepare us for challenges we never imagined.
