A pre-covid Christmas service at Lakewood Ranch
• WHO WE ARE: A small (fewer than 50) and growing congregation currently meeting in Lakewood Ranch. We are a spiritual, liberally minded, social community. Members are encouraged to assist in developing and defining both services and social program content. We were initiated by, and are affiliated with, the Unitarian Universalist Church of Sarasota.
• NEWCOMERS AND GUESTS: We welcome you to Unitarian Universalists of Lakewood Ranch. "Whoever you are, whomever you love and wherever you are on your spiritual journey, you are welcome here.”
• UPCOMING SERVICES: We resume services in October, after a summer hiatus. Services are held MOST Sundays at 10 a.m. at The Hyatt Place, Sarasota/Lakewood Ranch, 6021 Exchange Way, Bradenton, FL 941-748-3100. This is just East of the I-75 and University Parkway interchange. Unfortunately, at present, we must cancel on occasion - due to Hyatt practices. Whenever we do not have a Sunday Service, we encourage our members to support and attend services at the UU Church of Sarasota. Read more about upcoming services at Lakewood Ranch...
• SERVICE TOPICS: Traditional services that may be lay or minister led, non-traditional services that are lay led, such as a Water Service Ingathering, Personal Considerations of UU Principles, Solstice Recognitions, Native American topics and more.
