We now have a bowling team! Many thanks to the seven folks who have joined the First Universalist team! Extra thanks to those who have donated to support the cause! So far, we have donated $900, enough to shelter a family for six weeks! To donate, go to fpgroc.org/bowl and click on “Purchase Tickets Here”. On the next page, click on “Tix/Sponsor/Donate”, then on “No thanks, I'd just like to donate”. Let's see how many more weeks of shelter we can support! Questions? Contact housingforall@uuroc.org.
Let's Welcome Family Promise Guest Families Home!
Family Promise has requested “move-in” kits for guest families when they move from shelter into their own apartments. The kits will include cleaning, kitchen, and bathroom supplies. This month please check the sign-up sheets in the Clara Barton Lounge on Sundays to see what is needed. Please sign up to bring in multiples of one item; three can openers, for example. Keep your receipt; we have a budget for reimbursing you! On Sunday, March 30, we'll form a team to assemble the kits and write welcome notes during coffee hour. Questions? Contact housingforall@uuroc.org. For info about Family Promise of Greater Rochester visit fpgroc.org.
UU Common Read Book Discussion - Opening our minds and hearts to Trans and Nonbinary people in a time when it is most needed.
This year's UU Common Read is Authentic Selves: Celebrating Trans and Nonbinary People and Their Families. Retired minister and member of the church, Rev. Peggy Meeker, will facilitate a discussion of this important book where we come to know the "real lives-revelations, challenges, joys, and networks of support" of trans and nonbinary peoples along with their families. We will break up the book into sections to discuss 1/3 of the book at a time.
This will start March 13 and run for 3-4 sessions on Thursday evenings from 7-8:30pm, ALL on Zoom. If you are interested or have questions please email Rev. Michelle at edu@uuroc.org. You can purchase the book through uuabookstore.org, or we can order 10 copies together for a discount if we hear from you by March 5.
