Any Unitarians? I Am Curious...

Why not you just go one Sunday by yourself and see if it's for you? Not all churches, Unitarian or otherwise, will be the same. In my past, I have gone "Church Shopping", attending a different church of the same or similar denomination every Sunday for a few months. It's hard work to find a church where you feel welcome, feel at home, feel like it'd be a place for you to grow. So that's my suggestion - If your husband's not game, do the pre-emptive "shopping" and try two or three on your own. After that, pick one you prefer and see if your husband will go with you to try it out. If not - well then you can keep going, bringing the kids along.

Yup they discribe the UU community quite well, all are welcome, always different ideas brought up, at ours we have polylog where after some sermons you may make your opinion know, open for discussion.
Been member over 20 year, raised 2 daughters there. They even had a 10 week sex education class for 12 year olds. One of my daughters said " sex, sex, sex! I don't want to talk about it, look at it or disect it" the other said "was ok"!
WE wear name tags, have many social action activities (give away washers and dryers to inner city residents for christmas instead of spending money decorating) work in soup kitchens, send work crews to central america bi-yearly, food pantry etc.
Best of all you can believe in whatever, have constant educations of all religions, and really EVERYONE is welcomed!

What I love about my UU church is that there is such diversity of belief within the congregation. We have Christians (Catholic and Protestant), Buddhists, Pagans, Jews, Muslims, agnostics, and atheists, and it's all good.
Our minister tends to be an eclectic - borrowing ideas from numerous sources including scriptures from various religions, self-help books, various philosphers, and popular culture. Last year, he gave a sermon based on the Prime Directive from Star Trek, dressed in a Starfleet uniform. We have services based on different musical traditions - a blues xservice, a jazz service, and a gospel service. Every year, he does a sermon based on whatever movie won the Oscar for Best Picture.
We have services for holy days of different faiths, and we recognize that differnt faiths have holy days that fall close together and that they all deserve attention - we celebrate Christmas, Yule, Chanukah, Kwanzaa, Easter, Ostara, Passover, Samhain, Halloween, Day of the Dead, Litha, Lughnasadh, Earth Day, Rosh Hashana, as well as the birthdays of Confucius, Siddartha Gautama (Buddha), and Mohammed.

I am a UU. I joined a few years ago after my daughter was born. Like many there, I was raised Catholic but (to put it nicely) have since parted ways with the Catholic church. I was in a similar situation to yours- I wanted my daughter to have some religious background so they can make their own decisions on what they do or don't believe.
I attend fairly regularly- I even teach my daughter's RE class. The services always move me. There is a portion called joys and sorrows, where anyone can get up and share with the congregation something good or bad, which I think is a great way to connect with others. There's a portion to welcome visitors and guests, so I would encourage you to go and see for yourself. Like any religion, or any gathering of people, there may be parts you like and parts you don't. Different UU congregations have different focuses, based on the make-up of those who attend. While I love having such a liberal, open-minded religion to be a part of, it comes with it so many different opinions that sometimes it seems impossible to make a decision! But, that's part of the beauty of it- that everyone's beliefs really are welcomed and considered and you are not being preached to but rather you are part of the discussion.
I hope you have a chance to check it out. UU's are very welcoming and even if it's not a good fit for you and your family, at least you are giving your children and yourself a new experience.

You can go to beliefnet for more indepth information on this and all other religions. It's a great resource. There are cool quizes that help you nail down what you really believe, not just what you think you believe, if that makes sense. You can even sign up for daily words of wisdom from any or many of the traditions.

Some UU churches are too religious. Some less so. I love our local UU church... wish they called themselves a UU Fellowship and left the word "church" out of it. There is a huge sense of community, lots going on, and acceptance at a deep level. I am not a member of it by a "Friend of the UU." I used to teach Sunday school there. I even wrote, in "It's Not Mental" (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0982805209?ie=UTF8&t... ) about our experience with the awesome way a problem with one of my children was handled.

I can completely sympathize! I'm not religious at all, in fact UU seems too religious for me. But, I too wish there was a way to get the same sense of community without the religious aspects. Even some religious education would be appealing, as long as it was objective and, I'll say, 'anthropological' in nature. I've tried humanist groups, but many of those just bash religious people. I don't want to bash them, I just don't share their beliefs. :)

If, unlike me, you can look past the religious parts of UU (it's still basically judeo-christian), then I think it's a great option for you.

I'm not a unitarian but I had a comment on your post. I'm similar. I wasn't a church going person and then after my little one was born, I gradually started going (to a Catholic Church nearby) as I liked their community spirit. However, be prepared for some stirring at home with your husband depending on your supportive he is of your decision.

The Unitarian church in my town is very involved with the community, they are always hosting activities/events at their church and seem very friendly and welcoming.

I was raised Catholic and am raising my kids to be as well, so we attend a Catholic Church. We do however attend some of the events at the Unitarian church and have always felt welcomed. I don't know what their services are like. If you're interested, just try attending some services or talking to their pastor about the religion...you won't be obligated to join, anyone can attend.
