This Week at First Universalist

Join us next Sunday

August 23, 2020

10am Summer Services Continue!

10am Sunday Service | Legacies of Resistance and The Church with First Unitarian

We are in a crucial time for racial justice in our country right now, with the intersections of the devastating effects of coronavirus, a battle for voting rights, and continual instances of police brutality. What do past movements for justice tell us as the church about how to respond? How are we called as people of faith to counter injustice in these unprecedented and defining times?

Speaker: Rev. Lane Campbell and Rev. Shari Halliday-Quan

We will be sharing a different link to access worship this week, so please keep an eye out for that.

Due to COVID-19 we will be holding our worship services online for the foreseeable future. We will hold on-line services each Sunday at 10am (our regular summer worship time).

Upcoming Events &

Additional Announcements

Tuesdays | Drop-In Discussion: The Hunger For Touch
