Love is the Spirit of this Church
At Heritage Church We:
~ Celebrate Life
~ Create Community
~ Seek Justice
We live in a world where some of us experience increasing isolation and little support for the growth of our children as whole human beings.
- Coworkers and acquaintances we feel we can’t connect with deeply
- Lack of ethical/moral foundation for our children
- Religious organizations that place us outside the circle of the saved
- Societal problems we cannot address alone
- … Or other factors that too often seem to divide us.
Heritage Universalist Unitarian Church provides a place of real community, religious education for children and youth, and acceptance no matter your theological beliefs, national origin, sexuality, gender identity/expression, ability/disability, or other factors.

“Acknowledging Our Past, Leaning into Our Future”
Sunday, April 21, 2024, 10:30 a.m.
This service is lead by Rev. Bill Gupton and friends.
We live on sacred ground. We gather on lands once cared for by indigenous peoples. What is our cultural and congregational responsibility – to them, to the earth, to one another, to future generations? This morning we will acknowledge our intent to own those responsibilities, to repair relationships, and to begin a new and exciting chapter in our history by unveiling a land acknowledgement crafted by church members and friends and approved by our Board of Trustees as an official statement of Heritage Church.
Join us as we celebrate Earth Day and reflect on our place in the history of this land, and this planet.

May 12, 2024 Gathering Meal
Second in a Series by the Editor
Our monthly, second Sunday potluck lunch table, in the great hall directly after services on May 12, 2024, will groan in delight with dishes crafted by many culinary-talented gods/goddess. However, what are you to do if you don’t have those skills, like me, or don’t have the time to create something to contribute? Here is my second in a series of how to help fill out the table without causing digestive concerns.
I might stop at the Newtown UDF (United Dairy Farmers) convenience store on the way to church and pick up potato chips and dip. Who doesn’t like that? Nobody can make that classical combo any better than I can! I even provide fancy containers of a bright yellow bag and a decorated serving dish (i.e., logo-enhanced plastic tub.) Both fit easily in among the more healthy alternatives on the table – no need to soil additional dishware! In my estimate, even healthy, nourishing items need balancing with junk food, every now and then.
Did you forget or you don’t have time to pick up something? Then, come have lunch on us. There is always more than enough to feed all.
Come join us for the May 12, 2024 feast right after worship services, in the great hall. We offer selections for all tastes – vegan to carnivores, diets for reducing or gaining, gluten-free or gluten-charged, healthy or perhaps not so much so, with a side of friendly conversation with congregants and guests alike.

HUUC Town Hall Meeting
HUUC will hold a Town Hall meeting following the service on Sunday, May 19, 2024.
Heritage is a Unitarian Universalist church that encourages each person to search for their own understanding of truth and meaning, and does not tell you what to believe. What holds us together is a sense of community and shared principles.
