    I enjoy your church , even from all the way over in Indiana! The Texas of the Midwest. This is my personal favorite of the UU churches I’ve visited and listened to. Bless your congregation.

  • Welcoming online UU community

    Newly relocated to a rural community, I do not have a local UU church to attend. I’m grateful for the social media presence of UU of Dallas on YouTube, and this more personal venue with the Podcast. Thank you to the Reverends for finding yet another way to reach out to those of us who need and seek a spiritual home and compassionate community. 💟☮️
