COVID Protocols

According to the current CDC system of measuring COVID risk, Philadelphia has recently moved into the High risk level, after being Low for several weeks before that, and Medium last week. For this weekend (August 21), we will be allowing up to 25 people in the Sanctuary, and we will not have an in-person Coffee Hour. Please maintain distancing of 3 feet between households/pods if possible.

We would like to serve coffee and tea after the worship service on Sunday in the future, if we get volunteers to serve as hosts. We do not have systems in place yet to have food at coffee hour (of course, you can bring something for yourself if you would like, and can still hang out in Hale Lounge), but we might be able to add that in the future if people volunteer to coordinate and help make it happen! If you would like to help make that happen, please contact Bruce.

Who Are We?

We are a religiously diverse, LGBTQ+ embracing, intentionally multiracial and multicultural Unitarian Universalist faith community. In our congregation, we journey together in Love toward restoring spiritual wholeness. We were founded as a Universalist church in central Philadelphia in 1820 and relocated to the Mount Airy neighborhood in 1938. Join us for Sunday Services each week in our air-conditioned sanctuary at 11 am and for our coffee hour afterward. Sunday school and child care are available. Summer services are followed by a potluck coffee hour.

We welcome people from any religious background who seek personal and spiritual growth in an extended family atmosphere.

Our denomination has no creed or doctrinal tests. All who are in sympathy with our beliefs and are willing to join us in supporting the goals of this church and the principles of the Unitarian Universalist Association are welcomed into membership.

Our building is now accessible to people with disabilities! It features a ramp to the main sanctuary and a wheelchair lift to the Social Hall beneath. Two accessible restrooms have been created: one on the main level of the Hale Building and another on the lower level of the sanctuary to make our Fellowship Hall more accessible to our congregants, visitors and renters. CHECK HERE for photos.

NEW WEB ADDRESS!

We now have a new web address: www.uumtairy.org.
Please bookmark it in your browser. For the time being, both websites will work and will look the same. If you are composing an email to any of the people with a @uurestoration.us email account, please use @uumtairy.org instead but either address will work.

Dress is casual, but know that we are celebrating our 200th Anniversary from 2020 to 2023, and we're striving to build a better here and now, based on our progressive church's legacy of social justice activism and racial integration. We believe that many faiths can worship together under one roof, and whether you believe in God, identify as a Humanist, pray through meditation or by donating your time to nonprofits or volunteerism, you are welcome here with us.
