UU Church of Stockton, IL

Welcome to Our Church

Welcome to our spiritual community!

We are farmers and executives, poets and singers, naturalists and postal carriers. We are liberals and conservatives, pacifists and veterans. We are Christians and Humanists, Agnostics and Theists.

We believe that we do not have to share the same ideas about God in order to form sacred community and do good work in the world.

Welcome New Members

This Sunday, May 19th, we were very pleased to welcome new members Morgan Heidenreich and Kirsti Persson who both signed the book during our spring membership Sunday celebration. Look for more information about Morgan and Kirsti in the June newsletter- but until then, make sure you introduce yourself and make them both feel welcome!

Memorial Dedication

The UU Church of Stockton was proud to dedicate our memorial wall hanging during service on Sunday, May 19th. The hanging is permanently installed in the northwest corner of the sanctuary and holds the name badges of departed members. Each spring we will add the badges of those lost the previous year. The memorial is designed to be expandible and we will be able to add additional panels in the future as necessary.
Many thanks to Sheila Haman who helped produce the memorial, Membership Team Chair Rose Foreman and the late Eric Anderson who was instrumental in the creation of this project and has now joined its ranks. If you have a friend or family member from the congregation's past you would like recognized on the memorial, please speak with Rev. Erik or Sheila Haman.
