A Warm Welcome Awaits You

Visiting a new congregation can feel exciting — and sometimes a little overwhelming. At the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Cleveland, we do our best to make you feel at home from the moment you walk through our doors.

Our Sunday Services

• When: Services begin at 10:15 a.m. and last about an hour.
• Where: We gather in our light-filled sanctuary at 21600 Shaker Blvd., Shaker Heights, Ohio
• What to Wear: Come as you are — you’ll see everything from jeans to jackets. Comfort is key!

What Happens During the Service

Our services blend music, reflection, readings, and a message that invites spiritual growth, justice, and living with compassion.

You’ll experience:

• Music from a variety of traditions
• Thought-provoking messages from our minister or guest speakers
• Readings from poetry, world religions, contemporary voices, and more
• A time of shared joys and sorrows
• Opportunities for reflection and renewal

What About Children and Youth?

Children are always welcome!

Child care is available on Sundays from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. in Room 101 for toddlers through kindergarten-age children.

For older children and youth:

• Families attend the 10:15 a.m. service together.
• After the service, Religious Exploration (RE) programs for children and youth begin at 11:30 a.m.

Our RE programs nurture curiosity, compassion, and fairness in a welcoming and age-appropriate environment.

After the Service

We invite you to stay for coffee, snacks, and conversation in our Fellowship Hall. It’s a wonderful way to meet people, ask questions, and connect with the life of the congregation.

The 2nd Sunday of the month, from September through June, is time for a community meal and fellowship. Please join us!
