 Worship Worship at the Amarillo Unitarian Universalist Fellowship is welcoming, relaxed, and meaningful. It provides a time of serenity and reflection, and on any given Sunday can evoke a combination of laughter, tears, and intellectual stimulation. Every Sunday at 9:30 and 11 AM (both services offer the same format and content), we gather for excellent music, sharing joys and concerns, and to enjoy a message brought to us by our minister, one of our members, or a special guest speaker. Message topics range widely from week to week.

 From Vicki Schoen, Director of CRE (Children's Religious Education)
Thank you to everyone who has helped us in recent weeks.
Spread the word: Next week, Khadija Raheef, a student at Palo Duro and immigrant from Kuwait, will talk to the kids about the five pillars of Islam. Spread the word. The lasagna garden is complete - handprints, seedlings, and all! Look for some fresh produce at future pot lucks.Thanks, Sarah!
Parents and grandparents: If you have a crib in good condition, let us give it a new home - our babies need a place to lie down! We also ask you for feedback on snacks. Are they important? Do they spoil appetites? Would anyone miss them? Please tell Sarah or Vicki. Thanks. We'll see you and your children Sunday.

It matters what you do with your life.

You do not have to do it alone.
