Seeking Truth, Building Community, and Promoting Justice
Welcoming Congregation
We are a welcoming congregation that seeks to be a spiritual home for people of free faith. We value the full range of human diversity, including race, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, affectional/sexual orientation, age, national origin, socioeconomic status, and ability.
We acknowledge that we gather on the traditional and sacred land of the Anishinaabe and Dakota people. In honor of their stewardship throughout the generations, we commit ourselves to protecting that land and working to mitigate the effects of climate change.
The St. Cloud Unitarian Universalist Fellowship is a small religious community serving the central Minnesota area. We are a welcoming congregation and a member of the Unitarian Universalist Association which has more than one thousand congregations in the United States and Canada.
Our denomination has a shared set of shared values and principles to guide us rather than a prescribed creed. Each individual has an opportunity to seek their own spiritual path. Our efforts and growth are encouraged through intellectual, aesthetic, supportive and spiritual programs and activities and through discussions among members and friends.
If you are seeking an open and welcoming religious environment, please visit us and share in our fellowship.
Sunday Services
We meet at 10:30 a.m. on Sunday mornings from September through May. The services usually include music, readings, a presentation by a minister or other speaker, and a chance to respond to the presentation. Casual dress is common and the service is less formal than many churches. Visitors are welcome.
On the first and third Sundays of each month from September to May, a Children’s Religious Education (CRE) experience, based on UU Principles, is offered for children and youth ages 5 – 16. Recent topics have included: Democracy for Dinosaurs, Insects, A Creative Expression of Thankfulness, Bullying, Beekeeping, Meditation and Racism.
A “CRE Corner” in the Sanctuary has quiet games and activities for youngsters to enjoy during the other Sundays of the month. “Time for Children” story time is offered early in the service and a nursery is available for infants and toddlers.

SEPTEMBER 2025
10:30 a.m. Sunday, September 7: Blending Waters, Building Belonging – Rev. Phillip Lund. Our new season of UU services begins with a water ceremony. You are invited to bring some water to the service from any source that feels meaningful to you. The blending of these waters represents how each of us contributes to building this fellowship of belonging and care. Stay afterward to enjoy soup and bread provided by the Buildings & Grounds Committee.
Children’s Program (CRE): Water Ceremony for All. Then join Ms. Heidi in the Nursery for gathering activities, including a short poem with gestures to set the tone for the CRE sessions and a game. The Bright Bulb Kidz Korner is also available.
10:30 a.m. Sunday, September 14: After The Tragedy – Rev. Shelley Dugan. Into each life a little rain must fall... And some people experience full-blown tragedy. What do we do after the tragedy? How do we mitigate it, grieve it, make sense of it? Join us as we explore what to do after the tragedy.
Children’s Activity: Youngsters are invited to enjoy the Bright Bulb Kidz Korner or the Nursery with Ms. Heidi.
10:30 a.m. Sunday, September 21: Belonging: The Antidote to Loneliness and Isolation – Rev. Phillip Lund. In 2023, the US Surgeon General released an advisory about the harms to both individual and societal health caused by loneliness. The antidote for loneliness is social connection, something which religious groups like this fellowship can offer—in abundance. This morning we'll explore the importance of creating a sense of belonging around our shared values and beliefs.
Children’s Program (CRE): Belonging. Amelia will lead as we demonstrate belonging together by sharing what emotional "gifts" we can bring to each other, making water ribbon dancers to celebrate our gifts, and attempting a guided meditation. The session is geared toward ages 3-7.
10:30 a.m. Sunday, September 28: My Wild Friends – Linda Peck. For forty years long-time Fellowship member, Linda Peck, rehabilitated injured and orphaned wild animals. She'll share some stories about her interactions with these amazing animals. Her life honors the interdependent web of all existence and she worked to repair harm.
Children’s Activity: Youngsters are invited to enjoy the Bright Bulb Kidz Korner or the Nursery with Ms. Heidi.
