Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Central Oregon
Together, we find meaning, celebrate life, and serve the spirit of love and justice in our world.
Dearest Community
There are no words right now.
Whatever pain, heartache, grief, or anger you may be feeling, whatever sadness or fear, you are not alone.
We extend love to our entire Bend family today. Together, may we hold space and love in our hearts. Each in our own time, may we begin to find our way forward, toward a path of healing.

7 p.m. — A silent vigil at Peace Corner
hosted by 50501
8 p.m. — Gathering at UUFCO
for a time of spacious music,
silence, and a few words
Our doors are open to anyone tonight seeking a place of compassion, connection, and care.
All are welcome, whatever your beliefs or wherever you find yourself in this moment. Come as you are. Stay as long as you want. Sing if you wish, sit in silence, listen to live piano played by Paula Dryer, or simply be among others in this moment.
OUR MINISTER
On Connectedness
by Rev. Scott
In 1820 in Boston, Unitarian minister William Ellery Channing said, “Religion, we are told, is a private, personal thing, between the individual and God. His neighbor or the community must not meddle with it… I would maintain that religion is eminently a social principle… The social character of religion is not sufficiently regarded.”
OUR BELIEFS
Diverse Beliefs, One Fellowship
Unitarian Universalist (UU) congregations draw on elements of a variety of religious traditions, as well as humanitarian and environmental values, for our spiritual inspiration and practice. UUs have a diversity of beliefs, and may identify as humanists, atheists, Christian, Jewish, Buddhist, Muslim, pagan, something else, or nothing at all. As we celebrate diversity, we also have a set of core beliefs that unite us.
