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.

September 6, 2026:  Water Communion

Water Communion is a Unitarian Universalist ritual that symbolizes community, unity, and the coming together of individual experiences into a shared spiritual journey.

Please bring a small amount of water from a place that holds personal significance, such as a local river, vacation spot, or even your home tap. During the ritual, we will pour this water into a communal vessel. All ages are welcome. No religious exploration activities, including nursery, will be held.

Coordinators: Patricia Hildenbrand and Cynthia Maxwell

Every culture and religion has had its creation myths or origin stories for its founder; the insistence of some that these stories must be treated as scientifically and historically accurate can make us miss the power and interpretive meanings of these tales. What do our stories we tell of the beginning say about us and our world?
