Unitarian Universalist Church of Charlotte - Discover Deeper Spiritual Meaning

    Carnival Service this Sunday (you have been warned)

    On one Sunday a year, the Sunday before Mardi Gras, we throw all seriousness to the wind and simply aspire to laissez le bon temps rouler (let the good times roll)!  It is a service marked by joy and joking in which silliness trumps sanctimony and frivolity rules the day.

    Survey the Homeless for AHHA

    Our Social Justice Team and the Urban Ministry Center need 80 volunteers to survey the homeless here in Charlotte. Check out our flyer for more details or contact Kathy Izard at the Urban Ministry Center.  This effort is being sponsored by the Center, Common Ground Institute and the Charlotte Housing Authority among others.

    A Celebration of Discovery Learning

    Open Door School is a non-profit, non-sectarian preschool for children ages two to six that strives to guard the dignity of each individual so that children feel free to explore, question, experiment and play. The School encourages children to work on resolving conflicts peacefully, to cooperate rather than compete, and to accept and honor the differences among us.

    Open Door School is the first program in Charlotte-Mecklenburg to be accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children. Our full-day program has a 5-Star rating from the North Carolina Division of Child Development.
