S/O Compairing UU Churches in the area

[Anonymous]

I was raised Unitarian Universalist and would like take my kids to a congregation around here and find a good community for myself. We've been to All Souls several times, but there's something about it that just doesn't seem like a good fit for me, feels a little too much like a Christian Church maybe. Anyways we will be moving to the NE, so I'm thinking Silver Springs or Bethesda may not be too far, can anyone give me some ideas on how these compare? Are there others I should look into?

Don't know about Silver Spring, but River Road UU in Bethesda is outwardly Humanist. They changed their name from "Church" to "Congregation" a few years ago.

I'm a member of CLUUC and love it … especially the amazing new ministry team. The new RE minister brings an awesome background and great energy.

If you're in NE, would the Paint Branch congegation make more sense?
