Celebrating Life’s Moments

The UU Fellowship in Centre County wants to celebrate important moments with you. We offer celebrations for a variety of life’s moments, from child blessings & dedications, weddings, commitment ceremonies, to memorial services and celebrations of life. We create a celebration that is specific to your needs and desires. Let us help you make the special moments in your life special memories.

We are committed to being radically inclusive and welcoming to all, regardless of gender, sexual orientation or religious affiliation.

At UUFCC, we know that welcoming a baby into your family is a momentous occasion. Our blessing and dedication ceremonies honor such a moment. Our minister works with you to create a ceremony that celebrates your values and traditions. Most often, we begin the ceremony by sharing the meaning and significance of the child’s name, followed by a dedication of parents and gathered family and friends to the child, and end with promised support by the community gathered.

We consider children part of the congregation and so do these ceremonies on Sunday mornings as part of worship. If you are not a part of the congregation and do not plan to join UUFCC, we can still accommodate your ceremony at a time other than Sunday morning (typically a Sunday afternoon).

Coming of Age is a yearlong rite of passage honoring one’s transition from childhood into adolescence. This process of learning and exploration is for 8th graders in our RE program. For more information, click here.

This is a rite of passage for Youth Group seniors as we celebrate their transition from youth to young adulthood. This ceremony takes place during the Rite of Passage worship service in the late spring each year. For more information, click here.

Wedding services are a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the love between two individuals. Because we believe in the inherent worth and dignity of all people and have a long history of promoting the equal rights of the LGBTQIA+ community, we bless all unions in our congregation.

Just as each individual person is different, so is each wedding. Our minister will gladly work with you in order to craft a service that reflects your personality and relationship. Whether you are celebrating marriage for the first time or 25 years of marriage, and whatever your personal religious or faith beliefs, our minister is a skilled officiant for exactly what you need.

We offer our deepest condolences for your loss. Memorial services and Celebrations of Life can be both a challenging and rewarding experience. We hope that this can be a time of remembrance and thanksgiving for you and your family.

We cannot know your loss, but at UUFCC we can shape and craft a service that holds that loss, celebrates the life of your loved person, and helps you navigate the rawness of grief.
