Unitarian Universalist Church of Sarasota
Overview
About Us:
Here we affirm and promote reason and the scientific method as the tools in learning to love each other and live in harmony with the earth. We have no creed, but we do strongly encourage everyone to treat each other with respect. We are affirming and promoting the inherent worth and dignity of every person.
Our religious education program helps our children develop their own common sense and logic in evaluating religious claims. We provide a safe place to help children learn and talk about the big issues such as God, Death, and Sexuality. We are a Welcoming Congregation, celebrating and affirming the active presence here of gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered and heterosexual members and friends, and their families. We are a Green Congregation, promoting respect for the interdependent web of all existence.
As a green business partner, the Unitarian Universalist Church of Sarasota is making a positive impact on our community. Their green measures include using Florida native landscaping plants that are hand watered and maintained by volunteers, and placing recycling bins though out the church with signs to encourage participation. Dirty paper products, food waste and yard waste are part of a composting program that is used on their grounds and memorial gardens. They use biodegradable and non-toxic cleaning products to clean tile, pavers and walkways. By using the results of an energy audit, the church has made a number of changes to reduce energy consumption. This includes: disconnecting a small water heater and using only on Sunday, reminding employees to adjust the temperature settings, solar lighting along walkways, and LED light bulbs have installed. For the community, the church collects toiletries, food for charities such as All-Faiths food bank and Habitat for Humanity.
