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).

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.

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

Hearing Loop: The sanctuary has a Hearing Loop System which is an ADA approved technology that transmits sound wirelessly directly to hearing aids. If you wear hearing aids and your T-coil is activated, you can pick up the signal from the sound system (if you have hearing aids, but your T-coil is not activated, please speak with your audiologist). There are also sound amplifying headphones (available on the credenza in the Parlor or from one of the ushers) if you do not have hearing aids, but could benefit from amplified sound.

“Love Thy Neighbor”
Emily Richards, CRE
In this ultra polarized time that we live in it can be challenging to understand others who hold different political views. How is our belief in the worth and dignity of every person calling us to genuinely listen to one another, to bridge the gap, to reach across the aisle, and truly recognize our shared
humanity?
Music by Laura Ramos and Emily Richards
