• Do you welcome people of different faiths?
  Absolutely. Many of our members were raised in other faith traditions, including couples in which the two individuals have different religious backgrounds. Unitarian Universalists believe that revelation is ongoing and that truths can be found in many sources. Our services include elements and wisdom drawn from many religions.
   

• Are same-sex couples welcome?
  Definitely. Within our Unitarian Universalist denomination, we are designated as a Welcoming Congregation, which refers specifically to a pledge we have taken as a congregation to welcome all members of the LGBT community. Same-sex couples are encouraged to be married in our sanctuary.

​

• Is the church handicap-accessible?
  The church is fully handicap-accessible. We have a ramp into the church building on the Main Street side and a newly-installed lift connecting the two levels in the building. There is handicapped parking directly in front of the church doors on the Old Queen Anne Road (lower) side of the building. You can also ask one of our ushers for large-print hymnals and orders of service, and hearing-amplification devices.

​

• Where do I park?
  There is on-street parking on Oyster Furlong, off Queen Anne Road, across from the lower level of the church. Visitors may wish to park in the back of the Chatham Market/CVS lot, or at the Post Office across from the upper level.

 

• What does it cost to attend?
  Nothing. You are our guest. During the worship service, there is an offertory during which members place cash gifts, or checks toward their annual pledges, in collection bags. You are welcome to let these pass, or, if you feel more comfortable, to put in a token monetary gift.

 

• What should I wear?
  The dress you will see is varied; most people choose to dress in ways that could be described as casual but neat or dressy casual. You may find yourself seated between a person in jeans and another in more formal wear.

​​

• May my child stay with me during the service?
  Children are welcome to stay with their parents during the service. Occasionally we have intergenerational worship services for the whole congregation and have programs put on by the children.

​​

• How can I learn about Meeting House news and events?
  Our website has updated and current information about news and events. We also have a monthly newsletter and a weekly bulletin, both accessible on our website on the welcome page and listed under communications. You do not need to be a member to subscribe.
