Our Minister-Rev Jeanne Lloyd

 

Come, Come Whoever You Are
Wanderer, worshipper, lover of leaving,
Ours is no caravan of despair,
Though you’ve broken your vow a thousand times,
Come, yet again, come ...
~ adapted from Rumi

We welcome you to Mattatuck Unitarian Universalist Society!

If you are looking for a place where its people and faith will encourage and support your:

·          spiritual growth and discernment; 

·          connection to community;

·         discovery of your passion and meaning in life;

·          and, development of a faith grounded in respect for other people and faith traditions;

then I encourage you to visit our congregation on Sundays at 10:30 am.  When you come, you will find that we are a people who believe that there is an element of truth in everyone’s voice and in each person’s faith practices. You will therefore find among us people with many different kinds of beliefs (humanist, Christian, Jewish, Buddhist, religious naturalism, process theology, and others).

What holds us together are our Unitarian Universalist principles of justice, tolerance, and freedom, lived with love, compassion and respect for one another. Unitarian Universalism incorporates within its theological practice, Judeo-Christian ethical and religious ideals of treating one’s neighbor as one’s self. For us, what is important, is “the way” that we are with one another (within the congregation and in the community). We seek to keep a promise to one another to listen and care for one another, even when we may disagree with one another.

If you are searching for a spirit filled community wherein you can live out your hopes and dreams while helping others live theirs, we invite you to join us so that together we may strive to live by our highest ideals in community.  
. . . Come, Come Whoever You Are

The Rev. Jeanne Lloyd, M.Div., M.A.
 

PS – Our congregation is based on strong lay led and professional religious leadership. The minister and lay members therefore share the pulpit, with the minister preaching twice each month, and lay members sharing their insights and discoveries of their faith journey twice each month. You will therefore find a rich diversity of worship experiences, as we share our spiritual paths with each other.
