June Scripture Study
Join Rev. Eileen on four Mondays in June for a deeper dive into stories of creation from religious texts around the world. We'll explore these stories and ask: What makes a creation story? How do sacred scriptures inform our understanding of creation/creativity? What are our modern creation mythologies? We'll meet via Zoom on June 1, 8, 22, and 29 from 6:30-8:00 pm. Please sign up in advance to participate at tinyurl.com/5fbztmu9.
Tuesday, June 2 | Drop-In Discussion: Where Is Liberalism and Where Is It Heading?
I am interested in where “liberalism” is heading. What makes a liberal? Am I far-left, a centrist, or right-wing? Let’s ruminate in the hopes of seeking clarification and better understanding. Bill Elwell will present. Drop-in Discussions meet via Zoom on Tuesday nights 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!
Tuesday, June 2 | Fellowship Club
We invite you all to our newest gathering! No need to RSVP. No expectation to show up every time. No pressure to explain if you are late or leave early. You are always welcome. Come as you are. There is a place for you here. Coffee provided, and feel free to bring other refreshments you like. Show up, socialize, play a board game—or don't! We hope to see you there: first Tuesdays, 12-1:30pm in the Library/Clara Barton Lounge.
Sunday, June 7 | In-Person Drop-In Discussion: Ancient History Mysteries
Scientists are discovering that ancient history is older and more complicated than anyone thought. As we consider what comes next for human civilization, it may be helpful to expand our thinking beyond the stories and assumptions of our time. In-Person Drop-in Discussions meet at 9:15am in the Chalice Room (#23) on the first Sunday of the month. Hank Stone will present.
