Fellowship
Our Fellowship
A community built on spiritual growth, human potential, and shared values
Our Services
Third Sunday Service
We hold a service on the third Sunday of each month. In most services, we focus on themes of spiritual growth, human potential, and moral issues that we all face in everyday living.
​
There is also an emphasis on addressing important social and ethical issues, as well as a strong sense that being and working together provides us the sense of community and belonging that many of us need and seek.
Time: 1:00 p.m.
Location: Kathleen Syme Library and Community Centre
Also available: Zoom streaming for remote participants
First Sunday Zoom Service
On the first Sunday of the month, we hold an informal zoom service. These sessions vary and may include:
-
A guided meditation
-
A discussion on a Unitarian-Universalist principle
-
A speaker on a social justice issue
Socializing Together
Third Sunday Service
We enjoy sharing meals together. We usually go out for a coffee or lunch together after our Sunday services.
​
It has become our tradition to share a Thanksgiving Dinner each November, bringing our community closer together in gratitude and fellowship.
Annual Retreat
Each year we hold a weekend retreat as a way of joining together our in-person and Zoom attendees. We stay at the Old Loch Hospital in Loch, Victoria.
Our Short History
The Beginning
Melbourne Unitarian Universalist Fellowship started as a small group who met at Ross House in Flinders Lane, Melbourne. Many of us had attended other Unitarian groups, or had experienced Unitarian Universalism in the United States, and we wanted to form a group with a spiritual and humanist emphasis, rather than a strongly politicised approach.
Incorporation & New Home
We incorporated as First Unitarian Universalists of Melbourne and shifted our meetings to the Multicultural Hub opposite the Victoria Market.
Name Change
In December 2020, we changed our name to Melbourne Unitarian Universalist Fellowship.
Current Location
We continued to meet at the Multicultural Hub until February 2022, when we shifted to Kathleen Syme Library and Community Centre in Carlton, where we meet today.
