We are welcoming, open and affirming to all. Our services begin at 10:30 a.m. Sundays. Religious exploration for school-age children and childcare for preschoolers are available from September to May. Learn more about us and what happens Sundays at UUFF.
Our growing Unitarian Universalist fellowship is led by Rev. Leslie Ahuvah Fails, who joined UUFF in September 2015. About half our Sunday Services are lay led or feature guest speakers, ensuring a diversity of topics and voices.
Speakers: Rev. Joan Javier-Duval and Rev. Mykal Slack
Anchorage UUF will be sharing the Sunday Sermon from GA. These are uncertain and volatile times. These are times that call on us to work towards our collective liberation while also tending to our spiritual needs and caring for others. How do we ready ourselves for what is being asked of us? How do we keep moving even when we don’t feel ready?

Minister: Rev. Leslie Ahuvah Fails Music: Marsha Sousa and Megan Webb
An All-Alaska Question Box Service! As the hymn goes, Unitarian Universalists believe that “to question truly is an answer.” Our program this morning will be made up entirely of your queries and Rev. Leslie’s attempts to answer them. If you’ve got deep theological conundrums, ethical quandaries, or playful paradoxes taking up space in your brain, this is your chance to have our minister take a crack at them from the (digital) pulpit.

Speaker: Rev. Dr. Rodney Lemery
Rev. Dr. Rodney Lemery currently serves as the Minister of the Worthy Now Prison Network at the Church of the Larger Fellowship as well as a volunteer chaplain at the Solano County Jail. He lives in Hercules, CA with his husband, a human-resources professional, and their fur-baby Basil. Rodney and his husband are members of the Mount Diablo Unitarian Universalist Church in Walnut Creek, CA where Rodney also holds a part-time assistant ministry job as the Justice Minister for the congregation.
In this day of transformational hope and radical restoration, what does it mean to move through the world as an anti-racist and why is it important to do so? Please join me in an exploration of practical methods of journeying together toward wholeness and collective liberation in this denomination and beyond using anti-racism as a tool!

“Our ancestors dreamed us up and then bent reality to create us.” — Walidah Imarisha
The story we find ourselves in would have seemed like science fiction only a few short months ago, and we know little about what the future will bring. In this moment of uncertainty and opportunity, we’ll draw wisdom from artists, musicians, and poets who have made it their lives’ work to dream a more equitable world into being.

This Sunday is our first All-Alaska Worship Service! UUFF and the Anchorage UU Fellowship will be joining together for worship throughout the summer, and all UUs — Alaskan and otherwise — are welcome to join us!
Click Here to Join the Virtual Worship Service on Sunday Morning!
What to Expect:
Summer Worship will use the “meeting” Zoom format, which is a little different from what we’ve been doing so far. As early as 10:15 AM, you can click the link (or call in using the information below) and enter the Waiting Room. (This security feature allows us to prevent “Zoom bombing” where people try to disrupt services.) The waiting room does not allow us to play music, unfortunately. At 10:30 or shortly before, Ushers will begin admitting people into the service from the Waiting Room. Shortly thereafter the service will begin! Please be sure to keep your microphone muted — and remember that if your camera is on, you are visible! After the service, we will enjoy Coffee Hour together.
Sunday 6/14

Our nation is in the midst of an uprising against racism and police brutality. What can we do now? What concrete, immediate actions can we take — no matter who we are, what resources we have — to live our UU faith in this pivotal moment in American history? After a brief service for all our members, friends, and visitors, Rev. Leslie will accompany us through a encouraging and spiritually grounded workshop: “In the Name of Love”: led by Rev. Meg Riley, Chris Crass, and Rev. Ashley Horan. This workshop will help white Unitarian Universalists seeking to be in right relationship with people of color in our fellowship and wider community. After the workshop, we will take part in a special coffee hour discussion.

Minister: Rev. Leslie
Our beliefs regarding what happens — and what doesn’t happen — after we die have a profound impact on the way we live our lives. Rev. Leslie will explore the spectrum of Unitarian Universalist beliefs about what lies beyond this life.

“The will to forgive is not enough … Only true understanding can bring about forgiveness. And this kind of understanding is possible only when you see the suffering (of others)”.
-Thich Nhat Hanh
Forgiveness can be heavy spiritual work. What can be done when it is difficult — or impossible — to forgive? What happens within us when we make peace with how we have been wronged — and how we have wronged others? And — how will we ever forgive ourselves?
