Sundays

We are meeting in person at our Meeting House at 2010 Whenona Drive. We are also streaming the service on Zoom. You can find the link to join us on the home page or on the calendar.

Our services begin at 10:00 a.m. and end at 11:15am. Services are led by invited guest speakers or by individuals from our congregation. This is an example of a typical service. Several participatory services are Prairie favorites. You will find a wide variety of topics and perspectives presented, as shown by the past program listings on the Calendar below. We also have recent Recorded Services.

Guest speakers are presenters from outside Prairie membership. They are invited to speak at a Prairie Sunday service by the Program Committee. They speak on timely issues which can be related to the UU principles.

Potluck Sundays

Join us after the Sunday Service on the first Sunday of most months to share a potluck meal and sit down together for lunch and fellowship. People bring main dishes, bread, salads, desserts, and also kid-friendly dishes like mac and cheese. All are welcome.

  • Service: "Engaging Our Theological Diversity" by Avalon Haykus
    February 23, 2025  10:00 am - 11:15 am

    Today's talk is based upon a report published in 2005 by the UUA's Commission on Appraisal, charged with "acting independently... to provoke deep reflection, energizing and revitalizing Unitarian Universalism." In the report, the Commission suggests how our congregations might benefit from more conversation about spirituality and how our failure to do so might mean we miss an important opportunity to serve many who walk through our doors.

    We will meet in person at our Meeting House at 2010 Whenona Drive.  There is also an option to watch or listen to the service on Zoom:  https://us02web.zoom.us/j/86387565125

  • Service: "Healing Communities through Kinship" by Mary Sue Reutebuch
    March 2, 2025  10:00 am - 11:15 am

    Mary Sue Reutebuch will share the inspiring work of Greg Boyle. In 1992, as a response to the civil unrest in Los Angeles, Boyle launched Homeboy Industries to create an environment that provided training, work experience, and above all, the opportunity for rival gang members to work side by side. Today it is the largest gang re-entry program in the county, and has become a national model for community building. Boyle states, "You stand with the least likely to succeed until success is succeeded by something more valuable: kinship".
