March 14: Living Without God

One of the sources from which our living tradition draws inspiration is “humanist teachings which counsel us to heed the guidance of reason and the results of science, and warn us against idolatries of the mind and spirit.” This service explores that concept. See all services.

Thought For the Day

“Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between man and his God, that he owes account to none other for his faith or his worship, that the legislative powers of government reach actions only, and not opinions, I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should "make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof," thus building a wall of separation between Church and State.”

~Thomas Jefferson

Welcome to the First UU Church of Winnipeg!

Rev. Millie Rochester

We are a vibrant, intentionally inclusive community, regardless of gender identity, economic circumstance, sexual orientation, age, race, ethnicity, or national origin. Our Sunday services are held year-round, from 10:30 a.m. until about 11:30 a.m. Childcare is available.

Because we are a non-creedal faith, we do not require that anyone adopt a specific set of beliefs, but agree that wisdom and truth reside in aspects of many faiths. Among us are those who identify with Christianity, humanism, Judaism, Buddhism, Islam, Earth-Centered spirituality, atheism, or agnosticism. Our quest for community, social justice, intellectual freedom and support draw us together, and call us to life-long learning and spiritual growth. Religious Exploration is more than the name of our Sunday School program – it is a way of life – and we welcome you to join us!

Feel free to send us an e-mail with questions or comments at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it . We welcome you, and look forward to sharing the adventure that is life and the spiritual journey.

~ Warm blessings, Rev. Millie Rochester

Hello and Welcome!
from the Director of Religious Exploration

Andrea James, DREAt First Unitarian Universalist Church of Winnipeg, we minister to the needs of young people, parents, and families, as part of the whole church. We affirm that families come in all shapes and sizes. Throughout the year we hold events intended to build community between the generations and to support certain groups. We have multigenerational events such as Potluck and Games Night, and we also have group-specific events like Parent Gatherings and Youth Nights.

On Sunday mornings, Religious Exploration programming offers youth groups for those 13-20, classes for children 5 to 12 years old, and child care for babies and preschoolers. Children and youth are welcome at, and participate in our worship services. They also have opportunities to worship on their own.

I invite you to explore the site, and then consider exploring with us.

~ Andrea James, Director of Religious Exploration

Map & Parking

We are located on 603 Wellington Crescent, just over the Maryland bridge on the South side of the Assiniboine River.

Parking

Parking is available in our church parking lot. If you have trouble walking and find all the spaces close to the church occupied when you arrive, leave your car in the drive near the main entrance of the church and ask the greeters to find someone who will park your car and retrieve it for you after the service. If you need a handicap sticker, please speak to Joyce Kehler or Norma Drosdowech for information about how to apply for one. If you are able bodied, please consider parking farther from the doorways so that those who need close-by spots can use them.

Overflow parking is available on the street and at the far west end of the Rehabilitation Hospital (the end farthest from the church). Please do not park in the driveways or fire lanes, or at the East end of the Rehabilitation Hospital (closest to the church) used by the Variety Club. If we continue to park where we should not, they will be fined and we will lose the privilege.

UU Bits and Bytes

What Worship Means to UUs

In a religious tradition which does not require a belief in God, why worship at all? True, there are some among us who do not like to use that word because of its traditional connotations. But many of us choose to use it framed by the meaning of its Anglo Saxon roots: worth-shape is the act of focussing upon and clarifying what is of greatest worth — that which we wish to serve with our lives. For some, the word God broadly defined serves as a focus, especially when understood as the power of creativity within and among us, rather than a separate and omnipotent reality. For others, mindfulness of the depth of the present moment (as Buddhism teaches) anchors our lives. For most, that of worth which we come together to shape is at least partially framed by abstract values and principles such as compassion and justice.
