An Invitation from UU Montclair in New Jersey

If a vibrant warm welcome is your jam, you will find a great sp/gaace at UU Montclair to experience this year’s General Assembly. We want you to know that our home is your home, and we want you to feel that Unitarian Universalism is a faith that makes us all come alive.

We will have Black Lives of Unitarian Universalism represented at our site, as well as Allies for Racial Equity, and a welcome from LGBTQIA Team members. Seminarians from our congregation will be excited to engage with others pursuing or considering ministerial service. Our music life is banging and we can’t wait for you to bring your voice, energy, and presence to our collective experience of lament, wonder and praise.

When you need to rest from the crowd, there will be a meditation space available, or you can step outside our doors and be in one of the most progressive and inviting towns in New Jersey. There are well over 100 restaurants in Montclair, many Black and LGBTQIA owned, and many right in the neighborhood of our congregation. There is also an Art Museum and a bevy of galleries, the oldest historic home in the region previously owned by an African American and former slave, and some funky retail and thrift stores. (We’ll provide you with a curated list of sites, or explore on your own!)

Our congregation will be providing home hospitality, there are a ton of local Air BnB’s, and the spacious MC Hotel is just around the corner. Coffee and snacks will be provided, as well as the opportunity to gather for shared meals. Our space is accessible, with a chair lift and an elevator, ramps to enter, inclusive restrooms and signage, sensory toys, and hearing assisted devices.

General Assembly Registration is required. Site admission to UU Montclair for the June 19-21 weekend can be added to any full adult GA registration for $25.
