    The best way to get to know Unitarian Universalists of Clearwater is to attend one of the regular worship services.

     

    Here you will find opportunities to:

     

    · Explore spiritual alternatives and deepen your understanding of the intimate and ultimate questions of life

    · encounter wisdom from the world's great sacred and secular traditions

    · Deepen your spiritual understanding · Hear inspiring music

    · Make connections with kindred spirits

      Although worship at UUC is not bound by a specific set of liturgical conventions, each service tends to have a particular theme which is expanded in the reflections and echoed by hymns, readings, meditations and music.

     

    There are also special celebration worship services to mark important events in the life of our community. These include:

     

    · Yom Kippur · Diwali (Hindu Festival of Lights)

    · Mahatma Gandhi’s Birthday
