We are always happy to welcome newcomers and we will try to make you feel at home and comfortable.

We respect each person's beliefs and our congregation is diverse and we cherish that diversity. If this sounds good to you we hope you will try us out by joining us on a Sunday morning for church service with coffee and conversation afterwards. We look forward to meeting you.


There are seven principles which Unitarian Universalist congregations Affirm and Promote:

  1. The inherent worth and dignity of every person
  2. Justice, equity, and compassion in human relations
  3. Acceptance of one another and encouragement to spiritual growth in our congregations
  4. A free and responsible search for truth and meaning
  5. The right of conscience and the use of the democratic process within congregations and society at large
  6. The goal of world community with peace, liberty, and justice for all
  7. Respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part

  • Sunday Forum
February 14th: "Standing on the Side of Love" by Rev. John Cullinan
"Standing on the Side of Love" is a public advocacy campaign of the UUA that seeks to harness loves power to stop oppression. "This is a time of great hope and possibility," say the campaigns organizers, "yet our communities are threatened by the increased prevalence of acts motivated by fear and hate. No one should be dehumanized through acts of exclusion, oppression, or violence because of their identities. In public debates over immigration, LGBT rights, and more, religious people stand on the side of love and call for respect, inclusion, and compassion." This Valentine's Day, we explore how UUs are standing on the side of love in all its forms.
Service Leader(s): George Hrbek, Mia McLeod

February 21st: "A Prayer to Mend Broken Hearts" by Mike Adams
Rachel Corrie was a peace activist who went to Palestine to protect Palestinians who were being forced from their homes. Rachel was standing in front of a bulldozer with a megaphone announcing that she would not move when she was run over and killed. At General Assembly in Portland, there was a dramatic production based on her emails home. Her parents attended the production. Mike talked with them for two hours, went home that night and wrote this sermon.
Service Leader(s): Carl Newton, Geordy Hrbek

February 28th: "Time Out of Time" by Rev. John Cullinan
Just what do we mean by "spirituality?" -- and how do we go about practicing such a thing?
Service Leader(s): Mike Adams, Mary Hrbek

March 7th: "The Art of the Possible" by Rev. John Cullinan
Stewardship Sunday
Service Leader(s): Steve Thorson, Sherry Hardage
Music: Adult choir sings.

March 14th: "Submitted For Your Approval . . ." by Rev. John Cullinan
When people ask me who my favorite notable Unitarian Universalist is, the answer often surprises them -- so much they might think they've landed in the Twilight Zone.
Service Leader(s): George Hrbek, Mia McLeod
Sunday Forum takes place each Sunday during the church year (August-May) in Robinson Hall, following the first service. The forum starts at 10:10 a.m. and finishes at 10:50 a.m. with a 25-minute presentation and a 15-minute discussion period. Questions by audience members are limited to two minutes per person. Forum concentrates on church activities, community issues, denominational topics, books of note, and topics of interest to the Los Alamos Unitarian Church community.
February 14th: "Say, What? - a Valentine's Day Forum" by Felicia Orth and Evan Rose
"The Five Languages of Love," by Gary Chapman, deals with the different manners in which people express their love for each other. Felicia and Evan, a married couple of 25 years, will share their views of the book. Members of the audience will be invited to share their thoughts.

February 21st: "Are We Selected To Be UU's?" by Carl Newton
The science journalist, Nicholas Wade, just published "The Faith Instinct ? How Religion Evolved and Why It Endures." Recent research has produced evidence that our communal behaviors, including religious practices, are products of both cultural shaping and genetic wiring. Quite possibly UU communities could benefit from the new revelations from neurobiology, psychology and sociology.

February 28th: "Sage Cottage Pre-School - nurturing and challenging children's minds" by Cheri Host
Cheri Host is the Executive Director of this non-profit Montessori and Play-based school for young children. She will discuss the school and how it supports our community. Sage Cottage is located in White Rock and serves families throughout Northern New Mexico. Hear how a member of our congregation is making a difference in our world.
