When are the services?

Services are on Sundays. Services start at 10:30 AM every Sunday during the year and last about an hour. In addition, from September through June an adult education forum, "Sunday Morning Dialog" begins at 9:00 AM and ends at 10:00 a.m. Danish, bagels, and coffee are provided at 8:45 AM. All are welcome!

What should I wear to the Meetinghouse?

Some people dress casual and some more formal. Children should dress comfortably in clothes welcoming to movement and art and outdoors.

Where do I park?

There is some parking in the front of the building, but lots more in the back. If both lots are full you can also park on the street.

What should I do the first time I come?

Come a little early and let a Greeter know you are new. They will give you a nametag if you would like, help you sign the visitor's book, provide you with a newsletter and bring you into the sanctuary. After the service a Greeter will accompany you to refreshments in the Community Room. On the visitors table you will find information about our community. There are also tables with information about Religious Education, Adult Enrichment Programs as well as our Social Action Committee. PLEASE NOTE: Our summer Sundays are less formal. If you do not connect with an official UUCMC representative on a particular Sunday, please contact the office during the week by calling 732.747.0707 to obtain more information.

What about children?

Please contact our Director of Religious Education, Michelle McKenzie-Creech at (732) 741-8016 the week before so that she knows you are coming. Come a little early so that the children can see their classrooms first and then the entire family can be seated in the sanctuary. The children join us for the first part of the service and then go to classes.

What about babies?

We have a wonderful, safe nursery for infants and toddlers. Our care person has worked in our nursery for many years. Also, there are always member volunteers in the nursery. You might want to come one Sunday and stay in the nursery with your child to acclimate them and get comfortable yourself. In general we prefer that babies go to the nursery during services. However if your baby is very young and you wish to bring them please sit in the back seats so that your possible movement will be less disturbing during the service.

Where can I learn more about Unitarian Universalism?

We have a quarterly orientation for newcomers and twice a year our Minister teaches a course on the tradition. Coming regularly to services is a the best way to learn. Please visit Unitarian Universalist Association Of Congregations for additional information.
