Seeking Truth, Building Community, and Promoting Justice
Welcoming Congregation
We are a welcoming congregation that seeks to be a spiritual home for people of free faith. We value the full range of human diversity, including race, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, affectional/sexual orientation, age, national origin, socioeconomic status, and ability.
We acknowledge that we gather on the traditional and sacred land of the Anishinaabe and Dakota people. In honor of their stewardship throughout the generations, we commit ourselves to protecting that land and working to mitigate the effects of climate change.
The St. Cloud Unitarian Universalist Fellowship is a small religious community serving the central Minnesota area. We are a welcoming congregation and a member of the Unitarian Universalist Association which has more than one thousand congregations in the United States and Canada.
Our denomination has a shared set of shared values and principles to guide us rather than a prescribed creed. Each individual has an opportunity to seek their own spiritual path. Our efforts and growth are encouraged through intellectual, aesthetic, supportive and spiritual programs and activities and through discussions among members and friends.
If you are seeking an open and welcoming religious environment, please visit us and share in our fellowship.
Sunday Services
We meet at 10:30 a.m. on Sunday mornings from September through May. The services usually include music, a presentation by Rev. Phillip Lund or other speaker, and a chance to respond to the presentation. Casual dress is common and the service is less formal than many churches. Visitors are welcome.
On two select Sundays of each month from September to May, a Children’s Religious Education (CRE) experience, based on UU Principles, is offered for children and youth ages 5 – 16. Recent topics have included: Cultivating Compassion, Building Belonging, Nurturing Gratitude, Choosing Hope, and Meditation. Occasionally we go on a Sunday field trip, and last year we attended a Catholic Mass and visited a Hindu Temple.
A “CRE Corner” in the Sanctuary has quiet games and activities for youngsters to enjoy during the other Sundays of the month. “Time for Children” story time is offered early in most services and a nursery is available for infants and toddlers.

JANUARY 2026
10:30 a.m. Sunday, January 4: What Resistance Looks Like in 2026 — Rev. Phillip Lund
For a religious tradition that includes “democracy” as a core value, 2026 could be a make-or-break year. This morning we’ll explore what it means to practice resistance at this critical time in our nation’s history. Stay afterward to enjoy soup and bread.
Children’s Program (CRE): Practicing Resistance: Children will learn about practicing resistance by hearing stories, playing games and creating art, guided by Mary Ness. Nursery care is available for the younger children.
10:30 a.m. Sunday, January 11: U.S. Constitutional Conversation, Part 2 – Judith Siminoe
Continuing where she left off last April, Judith will review the purpose of the Bill of Rights and how Constitutional Law has evolved as society has changed. After a little background on protection for speech and religion, we will consider some hypothetical scenarios and practice thinking like judges. To accompany the topic, Steve Goldstein will sing a song he wrote titled “We the People”.
Children’s Activity: Youngsters are invited to enjoy the Bright Bulb Kidz Korner or the Nursery with Ms. Shumey.
10:30 a.m. Sunday, January 18: No Resistance Without Love – Rev. Phillip Lund
Monday, January 19, marks the beginning of 30 Days of Love, an annual month-long spiritual journey sponsored by the UUA’s Side with Love campaign. This year’s theme, “Love at the Center: Imagining the World as It Could Be,” can empower us to engage in resistance from a place of love.
Children’s Program (CRE): Youngsters are invited to enjoy the Bright Bulb Kidz Korner or the Nursery with Ms. Shumey.
10:30 a.m. Sunday, January 25: Collaborating for Justice – Dallas Rising, MUUSJA Organizer
For 25 years, the Minnesota Unitarian Universalist Social Justice Alliance (MUUSJA) has equipped UUs to do powerful, accountable work that is grounded in our faith values which call us to show up for justice with love, courage, and humility. Our UU Fellowship and some of our members have supported MUUSJA for many years. Dallas will provide an update about current projects and how all of us can be involved.
Children’s Program (CRE): Children will learn about practicing resistance by hearing stories, playing games and creating art, guided by Rev. Phillip Lund. Nursery care is available for the younger children.
