UU Wisdom
"We are a gentle and generous people. But let us not forget our anger. May it fuel not only our com-mitment to compassion but also our commitment to make fundamental changes. Our vision of the Beloved Community must stand against a vision that would allow the privilege of the few to be accepted as just and even holy. Our religious vision must again and again ask the Gospel question 'Who is my neighbor' and strive always to include more and more of us as we intone the words that gave birth to this nation, 'We the people...' We are, and we should be, both a gentle, and an angry people."

—William Sinkford, minister

Welcome To The Northwoods Unitarian Universalist Fellowship

Among Unitarian Universalists, you will find people of diverse beliefs, and disparate backgrounds.

We have had a wide range of ministers, speakers, and lay people take the pulpit at our fellowship, each giving their talks on the things that are of value and importance to them as individuals.

Some of the people who have taken the pulpit have included Jews, Christians, Wiccans, Buddhists, Taoists, Ba'a'hi, Atheists, Agnostics, Searchers, Free Thinkers, and people of other beliefs. We encourage freedom of thought, and freedom of belief through the journey of life, that we come together to share., with the understanding that beliefs can change and evolve over time.

Membership is open to anyone 18 or older, who is sympathetic with our purposes.

Services at NUUF

Services are held every other Sunday starting at 10:00 am at our Fellowship, located off Woodruff Road on Peggy’s Lane near Woodruff, Wisconsin. Children's Religious Education classes run concurrently (except during summer months.) A coffee hour follows the service.

On alternate Sundays, adult religious education sessions are held starting at 10:00 am.

Our services frequently have "Talk Backs" where the congregation can give their opinions and reflections on the sermons, and enter into lively discussions. People are welcome to stay for awhile after the service to socialize with others and perhaps enjoy a snack as well.

In addition to our Sunday services which we have every other Sunday, we also offer Adult Religious education on alternate Sundays. During the school year we provide Children's Religious education during the services.

At times we will have potlucks, and other social activities such as a Thanksgiving dinner, or a New Year's party. In December we have a special service to commemorate Christmas, Hannukah, Yule, The Winter Solstice, and Kwanzaa. In January we have a celebration of Martin Luther King Day.

And our Fellowship offers a Women's Circle.

Our fellowship takes on a variety of Social Justice projects through out the year.

On our fellowship grounds we have a peace pole with, "Let Peace Prevail On Earth" in various languages. We also have a Memorial Garden to honor deceased members of our congregation and their family members.

We hope to see you at our fellowship.

Anonymous Lesbian Couple - WISCONSIN

"My partner and I have been together for nearly ten years and have two pre-school aged children. Because we do not have access to the protections for civil marriage, my partner could be taken away from our home any day. My partner was born in South America, and we met when she was studying here on a student visa, which has since expired. She hasd chosen to illegally overstay her visa rather than split apart our family. Straight bi-national couples can marry and legally remain together. Lesbian and gay couples do not have that option, and many committed couples are forced to move from country to country, to live illegally in one country, or break up their family. What's worse for my family is that not being married also means my partner is not considered a parent to our children. In some cases immigration officials allow a non-citizen to remain in our country if his or her departure would cause undue hardship to an American citizen. You can prove hardship only if you have a legally recognized family member. I am not considered family to my partner and neither are our two children. If we were able to marry, our family would be protected instead of threatened by the law. We do not share our names out of fear that our family could be ripped apart."
