"Pete Seeger and Me"

Jim Scott’s family oriented show will include music and banter from the days of performing with Pete Seeger:  memorable times for all of us. He will sing songs and arrangements from his own writing. Kids love his Rainforest song and others that let everyone participate. In between the music Scott tells stories from Seeger and about his own music. 

$15 suggested donation.

A Social Justice Task Force, appointed by the Board and approved by the congregation, has been created to help discern our role in helping transform the Rochester community into a more just, equitable and peaceful place. Members of the Task Force, Chair Eric Van Dusen, Connie Valk and Dick Gilbert, have met several times and have interviewed community leaders who have distinctive knowledge of the Rochester community. The Board and Social Responsibility Committee have also been interviewed. Results are being compiled and will be reported to the Board.

The Task Force now turns its attention to gathering input from members and friends of the congregation through a series of focus groups. Members of the Task Force will lead these discussions which will be collected and reported to the Board. We ask that you attend just one of these conversations:

• September 11th at 9:15 a.m. Discussion Group in the Chalice Room
• September 11th after Coffee, 12:00 noon in the Chalice Room
  
• September 18th after Coffee, 12:00 noon in the Chalice Room

October 9-16 will be our last RAIHN* Week for 2016. During that week we will provide temporarily homeless families with good food to eat and a safe place to stay at First Universalist Church. If you'd like to help, sign up in the lounge after church on Sunday, or contact Chris DeGolyer, chrisdeg@frontiernet.net, Marti Eggers, mceggers@gmail.com, or Sarah Singal, ssingal@rochester.rr.com. If you would like to learn more before volunteering, ask us about "shadowing" experienced volunteers.
