Despite (or maybe because of) the transitory nature of our community, BRUU is a place of sanctuary for most of its members. Our congregational survey shows that a majority of our members attend Sunday Worship three or more times per month. The survey also found that, for over half our members, BRUU has been a spiritual home for more than ten years. Our recent adult retreat was a great success in deepening connections with fellow BRUU members.

We enjoy being together on Sunday mornings, being challenged by the service, and sharing UU ComUUnion (Coffee or Tea and Snacks) afterwards. We have shifted from a plurality of former Catholics in 2003 to a majority of congregants from Protestant traditions and “Nones” as of the current congregational survey. For several years, we had two services (at 9:15 and 10:45) but in April 2016 we returned to a single 10:00 service due to declining attendance at the early service. The survey results show support for one well-attended service.

We have a vibrant RE program and are trying to attract more families with children. We would love to share Unitarian Universalism – and the BRUU Spirit – with generations to come and people of all backgrounds. Prince William County is culturally, racially and ethnically diverse; BRUU is whiter and older than the county in general.
