In the spring of 1957, a group of families met in a private home to organize a Livermore Unitarian Fellowship. By 1962 the Fellowship had grown enough to purchase a large Spanish style house on First Street at, then, the edge of town. This was their home for 15 years.
In the fall of 1977, the Fellowship remodeled and moved into a former Baptist church with nearly 3 acres of land on Vasco Road, before Springtown existed. The Fellowship called its first minister in 1981. The congregation voted to change the name to the Unitarian Universalist Church in Livermore a few years later. This year, the Unitarian Universalist Church in Livermore is celebrating its 60th Anniversary.
On Saturday, October 7th, as part of the year long commemoration of 60 years of history and in honor of all those who have been part of our church community, the Unitarian Universalist Church in Livermore will be having a Gala Celebration from 5 pm to 8 pm. Hors d’oeuvres and desserts will be served under the arbor. There will be a live band and dancing. Wine and beer will be available for purchase.
The recommended donation for the event is $20.00 for adults and teens, $5.00 per child age 12 and under. Free childcare will be provided. For more information and to RSVP, call the church office at (925) 447-8747.
