This Week at First Universalist

Join us next Sunday

February 9, 2025

10:30am Sunday Service: Salvation and the Super Bowl: a Game Plan for Moving Faithfully Forward Together

Of our UU Values, Equity is one of the most challenging to imagine on a grand scale. It is easy to feel overwhelmed looking toward the future despite our commitment to keeping Love at the center. Sometimes we need a strategy, a framework to ground our efforts, energy, and belief. Perhaps a sports tactic system like Total Football is just what we are looking for?

Speaker: Rev. Michelle Yates

Each Sunday ushers will have several large-print copies of the order of service available. If you would like one, please ask an usher.
