RITES OF PASSAGE
Unitarian Universalist rites of passage—such as child dedications, weddings, and memorial services-are deeply personal and meaningful ceremonies that celebrate life’s transitions. Rooted in values of love, compassion, and respect for individual beliefs, these rituals honor the unique journeys of individuals and communities. Child dedications welcome new life into a supportive community, weddings celebrate the union of partners in commitment, and memorial services offer space for reflection, mourning, and the celebration of a loved one’s life. These rites are flexible and inclusive, allowing for diverse spiritual practices while emphasizing shared human experience.

MUSIC
UUCF offers a vibrant musical ministry to our members and friends. Our Sunday services feature a combination of our vocal choir, chime choirs, congregant talent, and outside guests. Guests are welcome to participate in all of our musical activities!
