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.

FEBRUARY 2026
10:30 a.m. Sunday, February 1: Embodying Resilience, Part One: Going with the Flow — Rev. Phillip Lund
While it may sound cliché, “going with the flow” has its root in ancient religious tradition such as Taoism. This morning we’ll explore how letting the current carry us in the right direction can make us more resilient. Stay afterward to enjoy soup and bread.
Children’s Program (CRE): Embodying Resistance: Mary Ness introduces the concept of resilience to the children and they will hear a story about resilience of nature in the middle of a bitter, cold winter. Then they will use their hands to create something interesting with seeds. Nursery Care is available for the younger children.
10:30 a.m. Sunday, February 8: Love is at the Center
Our musicians host a musical and spoken word celebration of Love, especially as represented in our UU values of Justice, Equity, Transformation, Generosity, Pluralism and Interdependence, with a sprinkling of romantic love, as well. Join us for this multigenerational program on the Sunday before Valentines Day. Contact Jane Ellison by February 2, if you have a poem, story, or musical piece you would like to share as part of this program.
Children’s Activity: Children are welcome to stay in the Sanctuary to enjoy the program, and even contribute to it! Let Louise know if your child has a song or poem to share for this service. 😊 Nursery Care is available for the younger children.
10:30 a.m. Sunday, February 15: Embodying Resilience, Part Two: Learning to Let Go – Rev. Phillip Lund
Becoming more resilient is one of the many benefits of letting go. But it’s easier said than done. Join us as we learn more about the art of letting go and how it can help us embody resilience.
Children’s Program (CRE): Youngsters are invited to enjoy the Bright Bulb Kidz Korner or the Nursery with Ms. Shumey.
10:30 a.m. Sunday, February 22: Describing the Indescribable – Rev. Shelley Dugan
What do we mean when we talk about God? Often the idea of God is presented as though there is a common understanding, but there are many different ways to describe the Divine. Join us if you are an agnostic, to learn more about what is uncertain; if you are an atheist, to learn more about what you don't believe; if you are a theist, to discover how complicated it is to describe the indescribable!
Children’s Program (CRE): Embodying Resistance: Children will learn about embodying resilience, exploring sources that "ground us and sustain us in ordinary, difficult and joyous times", by hearing stories, playing games and creating art, guided by Louise Goetz. Nursery Care is available for the younger children.
