Tuesday, May 2 | Drop-In Discussion: What is WOKE and Why the Furor?
In our current political environment, we are beginning to hear a lot of negative, even hateful, speech about folks who are WOKE and how WOKE must be rejected and even outlawed. What is being WOKE and is it harmful for folks in this country and its future to be WOKE? John Lukes presents. 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!

Sunday, May 7 | In-Person Drop-In Discussion: Equality, Pros and Cons
What kinds of equality do we want? Just what do we mean by equality, anyhow? Is there a conflict between equality and equity? This will be the topic of our next in-church drop-in discussion, which is held at 9:15am in the Chalice Room on the first Sunday of the month. Phil Ebersole will facilitate. If you have a topic you want discussed or want to facilitate a discussion, speak to Phil Ebersole.
