Upcoming Events &
Additional Announcements
Tuesdays | Drop-In Discussion: I May Be Wrong. Why Admitting It Is So Difficult.
Notice the use of the word "may" in the title. It's easy to walk away from an argument with that caveat rather than state "I'm wrong". Why is it difficult to admit to error when it matters for our self-esteem? Bill Elwell 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 on the title of this description!

Wednesdays | Midweek Meditation
The next Midweek Meditation is August 25 at 11:30am. Look on the First Universalist homepage for details and a link!

A Challenge Grant for Summer 2021 
Thanks to the generosity of First Universalist Church members, we met and surpassed ($2700!) the challenge to match the anonymous donor’s $2500 that was designated to the development of the Civil Rights Heritage Site (a FIRE team priority voted on by our congregation). Congratulations and a huge thank you to all generous donors! (There’s a chance that this accomplishment may be matched again with a NYS Humanities Grant.)
Please send your Joys and Sorrows to be read at our Sunday Worship service to JoysandSorrows@uuroc.org.
Note: When you email a joy or sorrow to us, you give us permission to read it aloud at Sunday service and possibly publish it in this weekly email.
Thank you!
