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.

    The world is messed up. What keeps you going? Let's share some positivity in honor of green shoots, shorter nights, and warmer days. If you have a story that brings you hope, bring a memento. You can hold it close, hold it up, or share the story. If you don't have a story that brings you hope, mark your calendar now. We have extra to share! After the service, we'll have a maypole ceremony outside (weather permitting).

  • Service: "Muslims on the Margins: Creating Queer Religious Community in North America" by Katrina Daly Thompson
    May 5, 2024  10:00 am - 11:15 am

    The turn of the twenty-first century ushered in a wave of progressive Muslims, whose modern interpretations and practices transformed the public’s perception of who could follow the teachings of Islam. In this talk about their most recent book, Katrina Daly Thompson tells the story of their even more radical descendants: nonconformists who have reinterpreted their religion and created space for queer, trans, and nonbinary identities within Islam. Thompson illustrates how these radical Muslims are forming a community dedicated to creative reinterpretations of their religion, critical questioning of established norms, expansive inclusion of those who are queer in various ways, and the creation of different religious futures.
