Join Us for Worship This Sunday!

Community Sing at 10:30 am

Worship Associate

General Assembly Worship

A special time for this service – come at 10:30 for half an hour of singing led by the General Assembly worship team streamed live from Louisville, Kentucky. Or come at 11am (an hour later than usual) for the 90-minute energetic UUA General Assembly livestreamed into our sanctuary so that we can participate together. It’s a longer service than usual so you are invited to come when you can and stay as long as you can. Special coffee hour will be offered in the back of the sanctuary. 

We will not be hosting our own FUUSB livestream. Please access this Unitarian Universalist Sunday service directly through this link. You can read the order of service here.

Join us for worship in person in the Sanctuary, or online. The livestream link and order of service will be shared at bit.ly/FUUSBWorship.

While at the Meeting House, anyone is welcome to wear a mask. In the spirit of caring for each other, please stay home if you have any cold or flu symptoms. Thank you.

Children & Youth This Sunday

Mo Singletary, Family Programs Assistant

Starting this week and continuing through July, families will stay together in the Sanctuary throughout the service. Children, their noises and their active bodies are welcome during worship. Activity stations will be available at both entrances, providing coloring pages, stuffies, and fidget toys to help children (and any adults!) engage. The tables in the back of the Sanctuary will also be set up with fun & simple craft activities! If a child needs a break, parents and caregivers are welcome to accompany them to the lower level to play in the unstaffed nursery or read in the children’s library (please leave the space how you found it). Listening devices are available at both entrances and can be used to listen to the service while supervising a child outside of the Sanctuary.

LGBTQIA+ group next meets 6/21

Elizabeth Allen, LGBTQIA+ Affinity Group

The next meeting of the LGBTQIA+ group has been rescheduled for 6/21, 12:30 PM, in the Whitney Young Jr. Room [2nd floor]. All welcome, including allies. Let's talk about the future of the group!

Advocacy, Lobbying and Elections!

Christina Fulton, Director of Lifespan Faith Development

Political Campaign Season is upon us, so what does that mean to you as a member of the First UU Society? It means that we need to be very careful about what we say or do when speaking as a member of this congregation. The general rule is this: We can talk about issues but we cannot talk about candidates. When speaking for the congregation, it is important to never advocate for or against a specific candidate. And if you personally are ever speaking for or against a candidate and there is any chance that your audience may think that you are speaking for the Society, please make perfectly clear that you are speaking as a private citizen and not as a representative of the First UU Society.

The UUA has published a great booklet to help make clear what is and what isn’t allowed around Advocacy, Lobbying and Elections, called “The Real Rules.” A false move in this area can endanger our non-profit status, so this is really important stuff.

Save the Date

As shared at Sunday's Annual Meeting, please plan for the fall...

Sign-up Now For Middle School OWL!

Mo Singletary, Family Programs Assistant

If a child in your life is entering 7th or 8th grade, or the home-school equivalent, who would benefit from the comprehensive sexuality education provided by the Our Whole Lives program, now is the time to let us know by filling out this OWL Interest Form.

Our OWL coordinator and volunteer facilitators have begun the complicated work of mapping out a schedule for this 26-session series which will begin next fall. The sooner we hear from interested families, the sooner we can solidify that schedule.

Find out more about OWL in general, here. Contact Mary Anthony at OWL@uusociety.org with questions about OWL at FUUSB.
