Our Alluvial Ave. Campus is open! We will be continuing with our Virtual Campus as well, holding services in our sanctuary and live-streaming them to Facebook and YouTube.
UU Fresno services are paused during the month of July in order to give our Sunday staff and volunteers a time for rest and renewal. We will resume services in August.
