Happening This Sunday

Sundays in March

Following each service

Meet in the back of the Social Hall


Drop-in for a chat and space to process with Ministerial Intern Cas, Rev. Jessica or Rev. Jack during the month of March following each service. The sessions will last approx. 30-45 minutes. With so much happening in the world right now, it’s good to connect and talk about it. 

Membership 2 Class

Sun. Mar. 8 | 12:30-2pm

Whitney Young Room
Questions? Contact Rev. Jack Gaede


In Membership 2, we cover more of the specifics of WBUUC’s history, take a quick tour of the building, and explain more of the ways that people can become involved at church (both in opportunities for service and spiritual growth). That class also ends with an optional ceremony where those who are ready can sign the membership book and make their membership official.

If you have a pastoral care update or a request for tangible support, please email Rev. Jack directly (revjack@wbuuc.org) or fill out this form: https://wbuuc.breezechms.com/form/pastoralcare


We would be honored to name your joy or sorrow or life event during our Sunday morning meditation so that our community can know about your concern and hold it with you. As the Swedish proverb goes, “Shared joy is double joy; shared sorrow is half sorrow.”
