Tuesday, June 30 | Drop-In Discussion: Christian Zionism
In the USA, there are an estimated 30 million Christian Zionists, more than the total number of Jews in the world, who believe God wants the land of Israel to be a Jewish homeland. Who are they? Why do they believe this? Phil Ebersole will make a presentation and facilitate a discussion. We meet via Zoom on Tuesdays from 6:30-7:30pm. Look on the First Universalist homepage for details and a link, or click the Zoom meeting link in this blurb title!
Summer Adventure Program begins!
Starting in July, we begin our Summer Adventure Program (SAP) for children and families of all ages. Children will get to experience spiritual enrichment in the season of Growth through a hybrid blend of weekly activities that can be done in-person during children's worship or at home. For 8 weeks, our ‘SAPlings’ will grow while practicing our Unitarian Universalist values aligned with this year’s theme: Hope. Check out the bulletin board in the second-floor hallway for copies of each week’s activities. Pick up a copy for any week or the whole summer, if your family is traveling or otherwise will not be in attendance at Sunday worship. Activities include spiritual quotes from our hymnals and additional resources or enrichment options in the community. Children will even receive their own miniature chalice to decorate! See Justin (Congregational Life Coordinator, conglife@uuroc.org) for more details.
Sunday, July 5 | In-Person Drop-In Discussion: Masculinity, Femininity, & the LGBTQ+ Spectrum
From sexual orientation to gender identity, from pronouns to assigned sex, from toxic masculinity to gender roles, there is a lot of new terminology and public debate about the question, "Who am I?" We will give a brief primer, watch a short comedy video debating the sexuality of kitchen utensils, and discuss what it means to live authentically in our current times. Justin Wilson will lead the discussion. In-Person Drop-in Discussions meet at 9:15am in the Chalice Room (#23) on the first Sunday of the month.

Our parking lot is being resurfaced on Tuesday, July 7. Normally scheduled activities in the building on July 7 and July 8 may be rescheduled – check our website for details.
