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, a presentation by Rev. Phillip Lund 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 two select 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: Cultivating Compassion, Building Belonging, Nurturing Gratitude, Choosing Hope, and Meditation. Occasionally we go on a Sunday field trip, and last year we attended a Catholic Mass and visited a Hindu Temple.
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 most services and a nursery is available for infants and toddlers.

APRIL 2026
10:30 a.m. Sunday, April 5: Joy in the Morning – Rev. Phillip Lund
While we aren’t observing Easter this morning, there are still plenty of things to celebrate: family, friends, neighbors, our fellowship—the circles all around us and the happiness they bring to our lives. This morning we’re going to celebrate the joy of being here, together!
Children’s Program (CRE): We will explore the topic of Transformation, and how to be open to change, "never complete and never perfect” through play, stories and games, guided by Mary Ness. Nursery care is available for children too young for the program.
10:30 a.m. Sunday, April 12: Embracing Possibilities
Together and in small groups we will consider what embracing possibilities looks like for us as individuals and for the future of the Fellowship.
Children’s Activity: Youngsters are invited to enjoy the Bright Bulb Kidz Korner or the Nursery with Ms. Shumey.
10:30 a.m. Sunday, April 19: Strangely In-Between – Rev. Phillip Lund
At this pivotal moment in our nation’s history, we may be feeling a bit uneasy, caught as we are between two possibilities: a world where all are welcome or a world of exclusion and marginalization. This morning we’ll consider how embracing uncertainty allows us to embrace the possible.
Children’s Activity: FIELD TRIP! We’ll be visiting a bustling UU congregation in Minneapolis together, First Universalist Church, carpooling from the Fellowship building with a 7:25 AM departure from our parking lot to attend their 9:00 AM service. Some snacks for the road will be bundled up for you before departure. They are looking forward to welcoming us as the youngsters join their classes according to ages. Please RSVP to arrange carpooling with Louise.
10:30 a.m. Sunday, April 26: The Art of the Apology: Eating Humble Pie with Grace – Rev. Shelley Dugan
here are few things more healing than a thoughtful apology, and few things more disappointing than a poor one. Learning to apologize well is a deeply important skill. Join us as we explore what it means to apologize and how to do it with grace.
Children’s Program (CRE): We will explore the topic of Transformation, and how to be open to change, "never complete and never perfect” through play, stories and games, guided by Rev. Phillip Lund. Nursery care is available for children too young for the program.
