Wondering Aloud
Our Sunday services explore insights from world religion, philosophy, and earth-based spiritual traditions. We are a warm and open, member-led community, whose small size fosters connectedness. We grow vegetables and imagination.
The First Unitarian Universalist Society of New Haven has provided a home for liberal religion since 1836. Our member-led services are held at our meetinghouse Sundays at 10:30 am. Our meetinghouse is located at 608 Whitney Avenue in the Whitney Avenue Historic District of New Haven, 1.3 miles north of the New Haven Green and about one-half mile south of the town of Hamden. You can also joint our services using Zoom web conferencing.
Please join us for coffee and refreshments after the service.
