Next meeting

May 27-"On Remembering"- Rev. Karen Matteson

              

On this Memorial Day Sunday we remember and honor all Americans who lost their lives in service to their country.  But we also ask: "Why is it important to remember them - or anything at all for that matter?"  The focus of our worship this Sunday is the purpose and value of memory.

Rev. Karen Matteson, an ordained Unitarian Universalist minister for nearly twenty years, lives in Cary, NC.  Now semi-retired, Rev. Matteson has served congregations in Birmingham, AL, Chicago, IL, and Charlotte NC before moving to the Triangle area to be near family.  [This will be her second visit to Kinston and Grove Park Unitarian Universalists.]

Meeting 2nd & 4th Sundays at 4 PM(except as noted) 

“Our Mission is to love, encourage,  and support each other on our spiritual paths.”

“We covenant to affirm the principles of UU faith, walking in harmony with our neighbor congregations, and humanity.”


"Love is the doctrine of this church.

The quest of truth is its sacrament

And service is its prayer.
To dwell together in peace;
To seek knowledge in freedom;

To serve humanity in fellowship;

Thus do we covenant with each other."

-- Rev. L. Griswold Williams

 

"May your life preach more loudly than your lips."

 -- William Ellery Channing

Grove Park is now two congregations sharing one facility!

The Christian Church and the Unitarian Universalists sharing and caring together.

We hope to do our part to be good stewards and greener citizens and active partners by this cooperative effort. 

Together we support Mary’s Kitchen, located at 110 N. Independence Street in downtown Kinston, which provides daily nutritious meals to approximately 110 people. The all-volunteer staff serves six days a week (Monday through Saturday) to anyone in need.
