For those wanting to attend in-person services (pre-registration required for in-person Sunday Service attendance only), childcare and Children's RE is restarting April 10th in the Playhouse. We are so excited to welcome back our youngest UU members and friends!

We are still offering attendance via Zoom. Check the Boonitarian for links to attend virtually.

As of mid-March, we've begun hybrid services that are taking place both in-person and online through Zoom.

Interested in attending at the Sanctuary? We request that attendees be willing to wear a mask and have their vaccinations, for the time being.  In-person attendance is limited and requires pre-registration. Links to sign up for in-person attendance are in the weekly Boonitarian newsletter. Find current and past issues of the Boonitarian in our archive and sign up to receive it in your inbox if you don't already receive it.

Find recordings of previous services (when available) here.

Hope to see you soon!

Many thanks to the BUUF Program Committee for a year of incredible Sunday services! Read the annual report (PDF).

​In late April, roughly a month into our current pandemic, Captain Andy LeBeau was promoted to the position of Interim Chief of Police for the Town of Boone. For this service, Captain LeBeau will join us for a candid conversation on the role of police services (locally and nationally) during these difficult times. How does Captain LeBeau respond to criticisms of the police made by Black Lives Matter and the “defund the police” movement?  What can he tell us about de-escalation tactics and about the training of local police officers? How does contemporary police practice reflect our UU principle of “justice, equity and compassion in human relations”? Come with your questions for Captain LeBeau. Service Leader: Connie Green.
