University Unitarian Universalist Society
East Orlando's Free Thinking Unitarian Universalist church
Members and friends of our society have varied religious backgrounds, ranging from traditional Christian (Protestant and Catholic), Jewish, Buddhist, and Humanist. We join together to learn, reason, share, and act for social justice in our community.
Our church is a liberal congregation with service talks each week on varied subjects. Of course, all ages are welcome, regardless of ethnicity, or religious belief. Our membership includes and welcomes Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgendered individuals.

Fonts Too Small?
The new web site uses slightly larger font but if the font is still too small there is something you can do about it. Assuming you're using Mozilla's Firefox, you can make the font larger or smaller by holding the "ctrl" key down and then rotating the mouse scroll wheel (or tapping the "+" or "-" key). If you're still using Internet Explorer, click on "View" then "Text Size" and then "Larger" or "Largest." For more ideas, see Computer Stuff.
Where to Find Things on Our Site
HOME: Basic start page with "Audio Page" (digital recordings of recent talks), "Calendar" (a good place to find out what is happening in the church), "The Connection" (our newsletter-- another good source of information), "LRE" (Life Span Religious Education), "Social Concerns," and "Sunday Talks."
OPERATIONS: This is where you will find things related to the church's operation. These include documents and our various committees: MEMBER CONCERNS , PROGRAM, RELIGIOUS ED, SOCIAL CONCERNS, PUBLIC RELATIONS, HOSPITALITY, FACILITIES, FINANCE.
PHOTOS: This is where you'll find various photos taken at the University UUS.
RESOURCES: Here you will find suggestions for Books, Films, Television, Websites, Health, etc. If you have a recommendation, email the Webmaster.
CURRENT EVENTS: Here you will find current event topics such as the environment, national resource allocation, science news, and the such. For now this area is fairly scarce and I would appreciate any suggestions of articles that you have read that would appeal to UUs-- please email the information, hopefully with a web link.
ASSOCIATIONS: Here is a collection of various groups that many UUs attend. Outside of the "The Connection" and the "Calendar," these dates and or links relate to many outside groups.
This website and "The Connection" fall under the Public Relations committee which presently consists of Chris Reid, Gary Przyborski and Joe Mendoza (chair). If you are interested in joining the Public Relations Committee, please contact one of us.
Out of This World - Hubble Images
I take a sun bath and listen to the hours, formulating, and disintegrating under the pines, and smell the resiny hardi-hood of the high noon hours. The world is lost in a blue haze of distances and the immediate sleeps in a thin and finite sun. —Zelda Fitzgerald
And Man created the plastic bag and the tin and aluminum can and the cellophane wrapper and the paper plate, and this was good because Man could then take his automobile and buy all his food in one place and He could save that which was good to eat in the refrigerator and throw away that which had no further use. And soon the earth was covered with plastic bags and aluminum cans and paper plates and disposable bottles and there was nowhere to sit down or walk, and Man shook his head and cried: 'Look at this Godawful mess.'
