[quote=Anonymous]Hi OP.  I am a current UU member and have been for about 10 years (spread between 2 different congregations in the area).  I was raised firmly Presbyterian but attended Catholic school K-12, so I feel like I have a good handle on both those styles of worship.

First, there are a ton of former Catholics among UUs, so if you visit you will be in good company. 
 
Second, UU congregations differ quite a  bit, so if you are "shopping" you should attend several and see what fits.  Some are closer to traditional Christian service and sermons, others are more New-Age, and still others have the feel of a seminar with some musical interludes.  To the extent there is a typical service, the format is closer to a mainline Protestant service than to Catholic Mass; some of the songs are even Protestant hymns with different lyrics.

But come visit -- you will be welcome.  Casual clothes, sit anywhere, and no donation is required.  Usually the late summer is poorly attended so you may get a better feel for the place in the autumn.  Ask about the religious education (RE) program for kids, it's really great.[/quote]
