First Unitarian Society of Ithaca services are held in person Sundays at 10:30 am. We are located at the corner of Aurora St. and Buffalo St (306 N. Aurora Street). The church does not have a parking lot, but there is free parking on the nearby city streets on Sundays and the Town of Ithaca allows us to use their lot on Sundays (on Buffalo Street, directly across from the church).

Join us after service at Coffee Hour in the church parlor for a time of connection.

Sunday Services are also Live Streamed from the sanctuary on our YouTube Channel. If you are unable to attend in person, we would love for you to join us virtually! Just click on the link above each Sunday at 10:30 am (or you can watch it later at your convenience).

Our services feature inspiring words, music, and stories exploring themes in a multigenerational context. We are excited to welcome you! Information about upcoming services is listed below. View Past Services.

“So Great a Cloud of Witnesses”

our Babies First program.
I am a heretic. And, maybe, so are you. Why should we heretics come together?

“There Is Not One Truth”
Emily Richards, Director of Congregational Life
As Unitarian Universalists we lift up the wisdom from many different faiths and belief systems. An integral part of this living tradition that we share is the understanding that no single story or belief holds a monopoly on truth. What does it mean to be a people who don’t hold a shared creed but who promise to join together on a journey that honors everywhere we’ve been before?
Special music by Aliza Proulx, violin

“We Hold Multitudes”
Emily Richards, Director of Congregational Life
Inside of each of us are rainbows and lights, stars, galaxies and universes. Join us as we explore the expansiveness of our beings through stories, songs, and interactive and engaging activities for all ages in this Multigenerational Worship Service.
Special music by Children’s Chorus

“The Gift of Pluralism”
Rev. Peaches Gillette
A pluralistic community is one in which diverse thinking, multiple traditions, and varied beliefs are the bedrock of its structure. But a progressive, pluralistic community is one in which it’s members feel free to express their beliefs and have them truly respected by all.
Special music by Southern Tier Singers Collective
