What I appreciated almost immediately about visiting the Unitarian Universalist Church of Greater…read moreLansing was that I didn't feel like I needed to have everything figured out before walking through the door. As someone still discovering what Unitarian Universalism means for me, I've found there's a big difference between reading about a faith and actually experiencing the community, and Greater Lansing gave me a really positive glimpse of that. The message on trust and nonviolence especially stuck with me. One of the ideas I took away was that nonviolence isn't the same as simply being passive or avoiding disagreement. It asks us to build trust, listen to one another and find ways to confront conflict and injustice without losing sight of another person's humanity. With how divided everything seems lately, that felt like something I could carry into everyday life regardless of religious belief. That's also something I wish more people understood about Unitarian Universalism. You don't have to arrive with a particular creed or even a belief in God. Christians, atheists, agnostics, humanists and people drawing wisdom from many different traditions can share the same community. The emphasis is much more on exploring what you believe and then considering how those values affect the way you live and treat other people. I felt welcomed at UU Lansing, and I left with something meaningful to think about rather than feeling like I had been told what I was required to believe. If you're in the Lansing area and miss the community and deeper conversations that can come with church, but want the freedom to ask questions and find your own path, this is definitely a place worth visiting.

When I first stepped in UUCGL I had no idea what to expect.

I wasn't wrong. It's not perfect, and that's okay. Recognizing its imperfection as part of the search is what makes it such a wonderful place to come and build community. Come and visit. It's probably not like any church you've ever attended... and that's a good thing. You might decide to stay,

I wish I could tell him how much this meant to me. I also really enjoyed the evangelist! His message was very powerful.

We've been attending IHM for about six years now, since we moved to Holt. We love our parish! It's…read morevery friendly and very diverse (well, for a Catholic church), and the priests, Father John and Father Mike, are wonderful. My husband and I were married here, and our son was baptized here. Our next baby (due in December) will be, as well. There's Mass every weekday, plus Saturday morning, and five weekend Masses (one on Saturday evening, four on Sunday, including a very convenient 6 p.m. one.). I would like to see more confession times -- there's only one hour on Saturdays -- but that seems to be the standard around here. (If you need weekday confession, St. John Student Parish in East Lansing has it after every weekday Mass.) I would characterize IHM as an orthodox (little "o") Catholic parish. There aren't hellfire-and-brimstone homilies or anything, but Father John and Father Mike definitely are faithful to the Magisterium and its teachings. The Creed is said as written, the eucharistic ministers don't tap the crumbs from the Host onto the floor (seriously, I know someone who saw that once at their parish!), etc. One thing we like a lot about IHM is that it's a very family-friendly parish. If you have a wiggly toddler or babbling baby, you won't stick out like a sore thumb. (I once took my son to St. John in East Lansing and felt awful every time he made a peep ... he was the only person there under 18, I think! No one was rude or anything, but I felt like we really stood out.) There's no cry room, per se, but the lobby is glassed in and has sound piped in, so if you need to sit out there, you can still see and hear what's going on in Mass. Oh, and there's also a perpetual adoration chapel next to the church, which is very nice.
