10:30am Sunday Service: This Old Brain Isn’t as Sharp as It Used To Be

We live in an age where we are all aware of racism, sexism, and all of the other “isms”, and we actively push back against them when we see them. But what about ageism? Is ageism the one “ism” that’s not only still acceptable, but the one “ism” that we ourselves practice and enable?


Speaker: Peter House

Tonight we will watch and discuss the first of three sermons that Rev. Bill Sinkford presented as the Sabbatical Minister at First Unitarian. He explains the Unitarian Universalist faith in ways both intriguing and challenging. Come watch this 20-minute sermon and discuss your thoughts and reactions with us. Rev. Bill Sinkford cheerfully has given permission for us to watch his sermons. ​

Guided by principles of mutual aid, they aim to steward a space where all feel welcome and integral to this mission, pushing our city toward a more resilient and equitable future. Please contribute as generously as you can to support this important work. For more info, visit their website 490farmers.org/.
