The Fellowship  has members and friends who come from St. Mary’s, Calvert, and Charles Counties.  We are diverse in faith, ethnicity, identity, history, and spirituality, but aligned in our desire to make a difference for the good. We need not think alike to love alike. We are people of many beliefs and backgrounds: people with a religious background, people with none, people who believe in a God, people who don’t, and people who let the mystery be.

The Fellowship is a shared-ministry congregation, where people support each other and the Fellowship. Our able Worship Committee plans several services each month, which are led by lay leaders or guest speakers. The remaining services are “watch parties” where we gather to hear a livestreamed or recently recorded service by a Unitarian Universalist minister from a nearby UU congregation. Members also take turns in leading discussions, reflections, and the annual celebrations of our shared traditions.

UUFSM offers Sunday worship services at 10:00AM. Start time may vary during the Summer. The nursery/preschool class meets at this time and is led by parents, teaching from UU preschool curricula with support from a volunteer Religious Educator. There are opportunities for social action, many in partnership with the Church of the Ascension (Episcopal) and other Lexington Park partners such as the New Covenant House of Prayer and the St. Mary’s County NAACP.  We also gather for occasional social activities.

We are Unitarian Universalist and Buddhist, Christian, Hindu, Humanist, Jewish, Muslim, Pagan, atheist and agnostic, believers in God, and more.  In addition to sharing personal spiritual journeys, members and friends of UUFSM enjoy traditions such as the Flower Ceremony in June, a Labor Day picnic and the Water Communion in September, a Solstice celebration in December, and our Anniversary Celebration in March.

The UUFSM has full membership and participation in the national Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA) headquartered in Boston and in the UU Central Eastern Regional Group (CERG), and is active with the Unitarian Universalist Service Committee and our district’s Chalice Lighters.

We welcome you: your whole self, with all your truths and your doubts, your worries and your hopes. Join us on this extraordinary adventure of faith.

Come and join us!
