Dare we say that we are on the road to normal? Many have received or planned our corona vaccination. As the flowers push up, we look toward a more usual life. But before we leave our masked, socially distanced and somewhat secluded life, what have we learned? Did some dreams get better as we had longer to plan? Did we daydream an even better dream? Let's hold on to the good part as we move on to the future. Janet Rothbeind will guide us through this conversation. Drop-In Discussions are virtual! We meet on Tuesday nights from 6:30-7:30pm.

First Universalist Church will be hosting Midweek Meditation services with Rev. Lane and/or Rev. Michelle on Wednesdays from 11:30am-noon. A time to connect for deep breathing, meditation, singing, and silence. On second Wednesdays, an extra half hour of sharing will follow the traditional format.

From the Caring Committee
COVID-19 Vaccines are here. Many of us have already scheduled or received our COVID-19 vaccine; however, getting an appointment can be frustrating. If you are having trouble with the system, these numbers may be helpful: Lifespan: 585-232-3280; Office of the Aging: 585-325-2800—their offices can provide assistance. The good news is that more vaccines are becoming available and more vaccination venues are opening including Wegmans, CVS, Walgreens, and Rite Aid.
