Mar. 19 at 7pm | Race in a Brave Space (RiBS)
Mr. Robinson will share an interpretation of Psalm 30:5 “Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.” What does it take for the joy to come? We will create a collective meditation on enduring the long night of racism to get to that glorious morning together. This series of dialogues creates a brave space to learn, grow, and act toward antiracism, especially concerning the inherent worth and dignity of every person. All sessions will be virtual from 7 to 8:30 pm. Look on the First Universalist homepage for more details and the Zoom link!

This unforgettable true story chronicles the tumultuous three-month period in 1965 when Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. led a dangerous campaign to secure equal voting rights in the face of violent opposition.

Stewardship 2021: Forward Through the Ages
Wider grows the vision…..Thus starts the second verse of the hymn, Forward Through the Ages, which inspires our stewardship drive this year. During last year’s drive, “Support our Vision,” we could not
have imagined how much wider that vision would need to be! And through it all, we have remained financially healthy, thanks to the pledges made by members and friends of this congregation. Watch for pledge materials coming soon. Stewardship Sunday is April 11.
