Theatre: A First-class Act

May 27 | 9:00 AM and 11:00 AM Worship Committee

Theater is a splash of creativity spread across a stage. Unless it is something else, like a religion, perhaps, or the world of politics, or . . . or whatever the Worship Committee and some theater-minded friends decide to make of it at this Memorial Day weekend service. We invite you to join us as we share our ideas.

What people are saying

I wanted a community of thoughtful people and especially people who were interested in community service, and I found it here in spades.

Pat Parker

On the wall of our sanctuary there’s a statement that says ‘we celebrate diversity, encourage spiritual growth, and promote social responsibility’ and that’s really why I’m here. The message of Unitarian-Universalism is also about equality and freedom, the dignity of every human being, all things that can sound like clichés – but they really have some meaning in this church.

Leo Barrington

When Jerry and I visited A2U2 almost 20 years ago we were looking for community. From our first Sunday here, we knew A2U2 could become the answer to our search. Who can resist a place where you feel needed and valued for who you really are?

Barbara Freeman

At Allen Avenue UU Church we have the opportunity to find out what matters most to each of us in response to life’s deepest questions and then to act on those beliefs. There’s no reason to do that alone; it’s so much more fun with others.

Sam Sherry

What I found at Allen Avenue UU Church is a community that accepts me for who I am and what I believe, yet has people with different beliefs I can learn from; there is no pressure to believe a specific creed.

Trudy McNulty

Allen Avenue UU Church is a loving, supportive community that gives us wings to fly and explore our own spirituality in order to become the people we truly want to be.

Connie Cross

Why am I a member of Allen Avenue UU Church? It can best be summarized in two words: community and beliefs. I have been part of various church communities all of my life. As my religious beliefs changed I had trouble getting up each Sunday and reciting things I no longer believed in. Then I discovered Unitarian Universalism where we say we believe in Love, Truth, Helping Others, and the Sanctity of Life. That I can agree with.

Dave Juers

This community is all about peace and love and caring about other people.

Kim Capone-Sprague

At Allen Avenue UU Church I found a community of like-minded people without the religious dogma that drove me away from the church of my youth.
