A hero is someone who inspires us because of what they've done or what they are. Who are your heroes? Do we need heroes? Phil Ebersole presents. Drop-In Discussions are virtual! We meet 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!
August 21 | Book Group: "The 1619 Project: A New Origin Story" by Nikole Hannah-Jones
There are several options for reading available which should give you a variety of choices. The hardcover or kindle is the longest and most complete version. However, there are also summaries and a New York Times article if you're pressed for time and/or want to explore other forms of discussion around the topic. One last note, the date is one week later than usual because Church Service will be held in Genesee Park on the second Sunday. Please join us August 21 at 11:50am in the Chalice Room for a lively discussion!
FPGROC Summer Celebrations and Richard Brush Memorial Fund Update! We're So Close to the Goal!
Miss seeing our shelter guests? Here is a chance to connect. FPGROC is holding a celebration for guests and graduates on Wednesday, July 20, from 4-8pm at the Day Center, 142 Webster Ave. If you would like to help with planning, set up or take down, food prep, or hospitality, sign up
here.
We need only $228 more to meet the matching goal of $2500 offered by an anonymous donor for the Richard Brush Memorial Fund! The fund will help pay for temporary apartment housing for families as they look for permanent housing. To donate online, use the "Donate" button on
First Universalist's homepage or
https://bit.ly/donate_uuroc. Be sure to choose the designation
"Richard Brush Memorial Fund". Or write a check to First Universalist with "Richard Brush Memorial Fund" on the memo line. For more information, contact Chris DeGolyer or Ed Deller.
