The Magic Valley Unitarian Universalist Fellowship (MVUUF) is affiliated with the Unitarian Universalist Association of North America and is an ethical and liberal religious community dedicated to promoting the ongoing search for truth and to affirming the inherent worth of the individual.

Our Fellowship Mission is to help each person live, laugh, love and seek the truth; to be a place of celebration, comfort, love, and learning for all ages; to serve our community in the spirit of justice and democracy; and to respect all religious paths.

Services begin at every Sunday at 10:30 am, with a social hour afterwords. Some services are presented by our part-time minister, Elizabeth Greene, on the first Sunday of every month. Our fellowship meets at 160 9th Avenue East in Twin Falls, ID.

February 17: Stages of Faith

Posted on February 15, 2019 by

Presenter: Jen Blair

Many people attending Unitarian-Universalist fellowships were raised in other religions, so much so that Unitarian-Universalism is often referred to as a sanctuary for religious refugees.  Let’s explore the natural stages of faith development into adulthood and discuss what potential benefits and drawbacks can come from gathering together with others who are in a variety of similar yet different phases of faith and transitional faith stages.

Unitarian Universalism honors the differing paths we each travel. Our congregations are places where we celebrate, support, and challenge one another as we continue on our spiritual journeys.

Unitarian Universalists covenant to affirm and promote the inherent worth and dignity of every person; justice, equality and compassion in human relations; and acceptance of one another.

Newcomers of all religious paths or none at all are always welcome. We are handicapped accessible. Please park in the rear of the building or on the street in front or the side of the building. Child care is available.

Join us at 10:30 AM at our new location: 160 9th Avenue East in Twin Falls.

February 10: “The Triumph of Trust Over Experience”

Posted on February 6, 2019 by

Presenter: Rev. Elizabeth Greene

What does it mean when we say we trust someone or something? What does it mean when we say we trust in God, or in the Universe? Does it mean we think things will always go our way? What happens in our hearts and souls when things do not go our way, especially in matters of deep import? Rev. Greene will reflect on these questions, and on how trust relates to faith and hope.

January 20: “Daughterhood”

Posted on January 16, 2019 by

Presenters:
Kacee O’Conner, Debra Smith,  and Emmie Schlobohm

Three daughters, Kacee O’Connor, Emmie Schlobohm, and Debra Smith, members the Boise Unitarian Universalist Fellowship, will share how they use their Unitarian Universalist principles to meet the challenge when they suddenly find themselves caregivers to their aging mothers. Some days they struggle living up to their Unitarian Universalist principles when it comes to taking care of their mothers’ emotional needs and some days they don’t do a good job of taking care of themselves.

Often, they are befuddled by the emotional whirlpool that living so close to someone who is nearing the end causes. How can they help each other? They are working with others to form communities that offer support, resources and sometimes just evenings of whining with wine. These three women will share how they use their Unitarian Universalist principles to help navigate this challenge.

REMINDER:
We now meet at our new location:
160 9th Avenue East in Twin Falls
