Hi everyone. Any other Chicagoland UU’s around here?

I (23F) grew up attending our local Unitarian-Universalist church. Due to both personal and external reasons, my family stopped attending shortly after I went through Coming of Age at 16. I was ok with this, because at the time, as I believe many teenagers feel, I thought I had better things to do with my Sunday morning than go to church.

However, as I’ve gotten older, and had time to reflect back on my relationship both to UU and Capital R Religion in general, my perspective has changed. I find myself being interested in finding a faith community, and the freedom of belief and identity that exists in UU is still attractive to me.

So I guess I’m just looking for perspective. I’m interested to hear from people that were UU, left, and then came back after a period of time, and what that experience was like. I’d also love to swap stories with other’s that grew up in a UU community.

Either way, I’m excited to explore deeper explore my own relationship with the spiritual, and I hope everyone is having a nice night :)
