Welcome!
Greetings from UUEstrie, a liberal spiritual community that first gathered in the village of North Hatley back in 1886, as the First Universalist Church of North Hatley.
Join us Sundays at 10:30am for our weekly service.
Join us in the sanctuary of the church and bring a book to present and share with the group.
This will be our first indoor service since the most recent wave of Covid-19. While the church Covid-19 guidelines will not be in effect, please be respectful of the individual boundaries of our members and visitors. Bring a mask and be prepared to wear it if requested. Maintain a social distance from others where possible. Avoid physical contact with others unless you have their permission.

UUEstrie will be joining this special service from FUP of Derby Line. NOTE- This service starts at 10AM, not our usual 10:30 start time.
Do you feel that you belong to your family, your community, the institutions of your town or country? Where do you feel connected? Where do you feel alienated? How can we make our way in the world today? Gabriella Brand will tell stories of belonging and alienation.
One of the biggest obstacles for us to find inner peace is the shame that we carry. Join us on a journey and a discussion of shame…and how we can finally work to say goodbye to it in our lives and for all to become the beautiful and creative beings that we are destined to be.
