Who We Are and What We Do
Some members of the UU Sarasota Congregation set out in 2015 to bring the Unitarian Universalist message to Lakewood Ranch. They were encouraged by Roger Fritts, Minister of the UU Church. They found a place to meet at The River Club. With help from their friends in Sarasota, and grants from the UU Association, the UU Church of Sarasota and the Manatee UU Fellowship, they started this new venture.
Its purpose is to bring to the LWR community a place, a home, where people can come together to share their concerns, to help each other find solutions for these concerns but also to celebrate their lives.
Because we believe firmly in the Seven Unitarian Universalist Principles, we try to help those who are less fortunate among us through our Social Justice Program. We are a Welcoming Congregation. We may hear a sermon on Jesus' teachings of love and forgiveness, on creating change through humanism, on gun violence, or an exercise in zen meditation. We may also hear in our forums and discussion groups concerns of voter suppression in this or other countries, and about issues that affect people throughout the world and affect our planet and all life on it.
The UU at Lakewood Ranch more than anything else seeks to provide a meeting of like-minded people who can come together and support each other. We are now in our second year and we look forward to growing in this community.

Our Flower Power Service on April 16, 2017 was a nice reminder of how far we've come in 2 years. It felt like a celebratory reunion!
