Harmony UU

We meet at 10:00 AM for a lay-led service at 300 West Church Street in Mason.

Since Harmony is a lay-led church, every week offers a unique experience. Our one-hour services typically include a thought-provoking message, small group discussions, acoustic guitar music, and coffee. We pride ourselves on offering a relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere.

While our topics change each week, some things at Harmony always stay the same. Each service begins with a UU tradition, the lighting of the chalice. We also invite our children to share their joys and sorrows with the group before they head off to their Religious Exploration classes. After that, adults also share their joys and sorrows before diving in to the week's topic.

Visitors are welcome and encouraged to participate in our Sunday services. Our Religious Exploration (RE) program is designed for children ages three and older who are accustomed to a class experience (school, library story time, etc.). There are classes for preschoolers and kindergarteners, first and second graders, and third through fifth graders. Older students attend the services and have their own age-appropriate discussion groups led by an adult moderator. Childcare is provided for children who are not yet ready to participate in RE.

We invite you to visit one of our upcoming services. Please note: In order to accommodate our growth, we now offer the same service, twice. Children’s RE will be offered on both dates and the RE lessons will be the same both times. Please take a look at your family's calendar and determine which date works best for you to attend Harmony - you can attend either one of the services.

February 5th AND 12th: “Standing on the Side of Love “ by Kathy Dunsmore: (National Standing on the Side of Love Day is February 14th.) Unitarian Universalists are known for their work to support the LGBT community through programs like Standing on the Side of Love. We march in the Gay Pride Parade and we support equal marriage rights. But is there more we can do? Can changing attitudes one person at a time have a larger impact? What can you do to Stand on the Side of Love?
February 19th and 26th: "Religion in Pop Culture" by Rob Rogan: Have you considered how religion is portrayed in pop culture? Is there something we can learn about our present state of spirituality by examining pop culture? This service will explore spirituality and religion through the lens of modern films and remind us all that in Unitarian Universalism, the questions are the answers.
March 4th and 11th: “Living a Downsized Life” by Justin Sodano: Did you know the average U.S. house size has more than doubled since the 1950s? The modern American lifestyle is bigger, faster, and more complex than ever. Would creating a simpler, “downsized” lifestyle lead to more happiness and personal fulfillment? And if so, how can we achieve it?
March 18th and 25th: “Ostara, the Spring Equinox” by Bari Garner-Holman: Come join in an Ostara (Spring Equinox) service. We will consider change in our lives, the pleasant and not so pleasant, welcomed or resisted, in a manner that honors the 4 elements of pagan tradition: earth, air, water, and fire.
