Hello! I left the LDS church ~5 years ago after being born and raised in it. Since then I've considered myself to be spiritual, but religion has since left a bad taste in my mouth. I don't really know how to define my own spirituality as I don't have a true outlet for it.

I'm looking to attend a UU congregation near me which I'm excited for but I'm also nervous! After reading this congregation's website, I definitely agree with everything they stand for and love the diverse spirituality approach of UU. I think it will be a good fit for me, but I wanted to ask- is there typically any sort of pressure for participation from members or leadership? I look forward to attending service, but I plan to just sit towards the back and feel it out until I'm comfortable to participate more. I think I may just be a bit "traumatized" from the intense missionary work and pressure for constant participation in every Mormon congregation lol. I have a hard time saying no, and will be attending by myself, so I just want to get an idea of what the culture is like for new-comers :)

TIA!
