| Welcome to The First Unitarian Society of Madison,
Wisconsin
(Unitarian Universalist). We are a
community of liberal religious people that encourage individual spiritual growth and action in an atmosphere of intellectual
curiosity. So in other words, not your ordinary church! We're glad you have dropped by our web site, and hope you'll have a chance to look around - there's lots to see and read. And we would love it if you visited. The directions are right here.
Upcoming Services at FUS
Saturday, May 10 at 4:30 p.m.
Annual “Coming-of-Age” Service
by Members of the 2007-08
Saturday Coming of Age Class
The Coming of Age program in our Society is the culmination of our Children’s Religious Education program before these 14 and 15 year olds “graduate” from our program. This service honors that step, and can truly be an unforgettable experience for those who attend. The magnificent young adults who give this service share their performance talents with the congregation and, in a real sense, themselves as well. All will write, and most will speak, a faith statement, an expression of their beliefs. Come and be with us.
The Coming of Age students will provide the special music.
Sunday, May 11 at 9 & 11 a.m.
“The Good Enough Mother: 
From Role to Relationship”
by Karen Gustafson, Minister
Mothers’ Day 2008 is the day when, for better and for worse, we are commanded by the media, the greeting card companies and the local florists to pay homage to the mythical mother, ever-loving, ever-present, ever- patient, ever-kind and almost non-existent. Most mothers are, in fact, more complex and imperfect than the greeting cards would imply. Those of us who are and have had mothers know this and struggle more or less successfully to reconcile the myth with the reality. With the help of participants in last winter’s “Mothering and Identity” workshop, we will explore the possibility of a more whole and compassionate view of motherhood.
Musically, The Society Choir, directed by Dan Broner, will sing As Truly as God is our Father, So just as truly is he our Mother, the anthem by William Mathias set to words by the mystic Julian of Norwich.
 Registration is open for Childrens Religious Education Classes in 2008-09
