Vision Statement
Come. Stand in Love. Move the World.
We are the Unitarian Universalist Church of Lancaster, a leading voice of liberal faith in our community, a sacred force for love and justice.
As individuals, we engage across generations, sustained by worship and learning, seeking and sharing wisdom drawn from many sources.
In community, we create sanctuary, gather strength from our diversity, honor and respect one another.
In service, we forge partnerships to foster compassion, hope and positive change in Lancaster and the world.
To view our plan to fulfill this vision, view our Ends Statement.
Service Time
Worship services are held every Sunday morning at 10:00 a.m. in the church sanctuary—visitors are always welcome! Worship services vary a bit from week to week, but they always include readings, a meditation, and a sermon, a variety of live music, and a story for all ages.
From September through May we will offer an alternative service from 11:45 a.m.–12:30 p.m. Second Services won’t focus around on a sermon; instead, they will be filled with music, art, meditation, even a discussion. On the first Sunday of each month, this time will be reserved for a Community Meal, generally a potluck. See the Worship Calendar for more info.
There is programming for children and youth of all ages year-round at UUCL. Infant childcare is provided in the first floor classroom.
Plan to join us at 11:15 a.m. for refreshments, downstairs in Emerson Hall. There are opportunities to learn more about our church and Unitarian Universalism, and to meet church members and friends.
Weather Delays and Cancellations
To find out if UUCL is closed on Sunday mornings, call the church office at 717-393-1733. The automated answering machine will notify you of any delays or cancellations. You can also tune to WGAL for snow updates. During the week, the church office follows the School District of Lancaster’s schedule for delays and cancellations. So, if the School District of Lancaster is on a two-hour delay, so is the office, and we will open at 11:30 a.m.
