10:30am Sunday Service: The Heart and Soul Behind the Politics 

It seems impossible these days to escape politics. We are constantly confronted with how divided we supposedly are. But are we really as divided as we think? We will discuss how to look behind the politics to see the hearts and souls of those we disagree with.


Speaker: Peter House


Each Sunday ushers will have several large-print copies of the order of service available. If you would like one, please ask an usher.

Upcoming Events &
Additional Announcements

Tuesday, July 29 | Drop-In Discussion: Life Breaks Through - Earth Day

Tonight we will watch and discuss the sermon that Rev. AJ van Tine presented on Earth Day to our sister congregation at First Unitarian. As we heard two weeks ago, Rev. Sinkford during his “Mountain Top” sermon extolled Rev. AJ’s Earth Day sermon as powerful and extremely relevant. Come watch this sermon and discuss your thoughts and reactions with us. 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, August 3 | In-person Drop-In Discussion: Quality of Life

Some time ago the D&C published rankings of Monroe County neighborhoods, villages and towns based on quality of life.' Let's talk about what makes a place a good place to live, and what we think of the places we ourselves live.


Opening for Childcare Assistant

If you know someone who would enjoy working with children alongside our faithful childcare leader, Carol Williams, for two hours each Sunday, please share this link with them.
