UU Wisdom
"The Bible is holy scripture because it is a living document and foundation of many important faiths, including Unitarian Universalism. To abandon the Bible would mean alienation from one of the world's most important influences on religious thought—liberal and otherwise. Our UU [Unitarian Universalist] Principles and Purposes are saturated with biblical concepts and ideals. Our concept of respect for the web of existence, for instance, emanates from a stream of thought that flows through the Psalms and the Prophets from that same God of Genesis who declared the goodness of creation."

—David McFarland, minister

Welcome To The Northwoods Unitarian Universalist Fellowship

Among Unitarian Universalists, you will find people of diverse beliefs, and disparate backgrounds.

We have had a wide range of ministers, speakers, and lay people take the pulpit at our fellowship, each giving their talks on the things that are of value and importance to them as individuals.

Some of the people who have taken the pulpit have included Jews, Christians, Wiccans, Buddhists, Taoists, Ba'a'hi, Atheists, Agnostics, Searchers, Free Thinkers, and people of other beliefs. We encourage freedom of thought, and freedom of belief through the journey of life, that we come together to share., with the understanding that beliefs can change and evolve over time.

Membership is open to anyone 18 or older, who is sympathetic with our purposes.

Services at NUUF

Services are held every other Sunday starting at 10:00 am at our Fellowship, located off Woodruff Road on Peggy’s Lane near Woodruff, Wisconsin. Children's Religious Education classes run concurrently (except during summer months.) A coffee hour follows the service.

On alternate Sundays, adult religious education sessions are held starting at 10:00 am.

Our services frequently have "Talk Backs" where the congregation can give their opinions and reflections on the sermons, and enter into lively discussions. People are welcome to stay for awhile after the service to socialize with others and perhaps enjoy a snack as well.

In addition to our Sunday services which we have every other Sunday, we also offer Adult Religious education on alternate Sundays. During the school year we provide Children's Religious education during the services.

At times we will have potlucks, and other social activities such as a Thanksgiving dinner, or a New Year's party. In December we have a special service to commemorate Christmas, Hannukah, Yule, The Winter Solstice, and Kwanzaa. In January we have a celebration of Martin Luther King Day.

And our Fellowship offers a Women's Circle.

Our fellowship takes on a variety of Social Justice projects through out the year.

On our fellowship grounds we have a peace pole with, "Let Peace Prevail On Earth" in various languages. We also have a Memorial Garden to honor deceased members of our congregation and their family members.

We hope to see you at our fellowship.

Real Stories

Angie Nichols & Beth Olson - SUPERIOR

"We legally married in Canada in the summer of 2004 and together are raising our daughter, Sage. In many ways, our life is like any other couples' raising a child. We work at professional careers. We share the day-to-day chores of owning a home and caring for a daughter. But, unfortunately we lack many basic protections such as hospital visitation, and the ability to make decisions for Sage's health in time of emergencies. On top of that, we've spent a lot of money putting together legal documents to help protect our family. We also worry about the impact of the proposed constitutional ban on civil unions and marriage on Sage and our family. We all want our children to be safe, happy, and productive. We don't want them raised in a world where they are treated unfairly and exposed to hatred. If we didn't have to spend so much time worrying and fighting for our basic rights we would have a lot more time to relax and to spend with Sage. In fact, we'd have more time and money to put into our whole life - and coluld have the kind of life that most families are entitled to."
