“Prairie UU Society Mission Statement Adopted 9 April 2000Prairie is a lay-led congregation with a diversity of philosophical and spiritual views. We aspire to be both open-hearted and open-minded. We reach out to those who enter our doors with their combination ofstrengths and weaknesses, beliefs, and doubts, and who desire to learn and live by the Unitarian Universalist Principles. With our small size and wide range of ages we aspire to be like an extended family. We also seek to support one another and nurture the growth of each of our members. Helping our youth to understand and appreciate these values is part of our mission. We seek to promote dignity, worth, and justice for people worldwide by supporting individual and collective social action. Our Vision of the Prairie Community Adopted November 9, 2008We support each other’s personal development and spiritual growth, Our caring for each other is evident to all who enter our doors, We act in the world to further social and environmental justice, and Our society is recognized and respected in the wider community. A Brief History of Our Congregation Prairie Unitarian Universalist Society was established in 1967 as an offshoot of the First Unitarian Society (FUS) in an effort to relieve overcrowding in FUS’s religious education program. Our Vision of the Prairie Community Adopted November 9, 2008We support each other’s personal development and spiritual growth, Our caring for each other is evident to all who enter our doors, We act in the world to further social and environmental justice, and Our society is recognized and respected in the wider community. A Brief History of Our Congregation Prairie Unitarian Universalist Society was established in 1967 as an offshoot of the First Unitarian Society (FUS) in an effort to relieve overcrowding in FUS’s religious education program. In 1966 a group of members of FUS had purchased a portion of a prairie area on Madison’s far west side as a potential location for a second Unitarian Universalist congregation, and it is from that piece of land that Prairie Society takes its name. That building site, however, was never used and is now split between Madison’s Raymond Ridge Park and the University of Wisconsin Arboretum. Helping our youth to understand and appreciate these values is part of our mission. We seek to promote dignity, worth, and justice for people worldwide by supporting individual and collective social action. Adopted November 9, 2008We support each other’s personal development and spiritual growth, Our caring for each other is evident to all who enter our doors, We act in the world to further social and environmental justice, and Our society is recognized and respected in the wider community. Prairie Unitarian Universalist Society was established in 1967 as an offshoot of the First Unitarian Society (FUS) in an effort to relieve overcrowding in FUS’s religious education program.”
