10:30am Sunday Service | Respecting Indigenous History and Land
The Common Read across the Unitarian Universalist Association for this year is An Indigenous Peoples' History of the United States by Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz. How does the history of indigenous peoples in our country inform ways to be in relationship and solidarity today?
Speaker: Rev. Lane Campbell

9:15am Drop-in Discussion: Faithful Boundaries
Each Sunday in the Chalice Room (second floor).
As we work on a church-wide safety policy, we strive to find the balance of being a people of faith and fellowship, and creating a safe space for covenanted community.

Sunday, March 15 | Annual Chili Cook-Off!
The annual Chili Cook-Off pitting the culinary greats of First Universalist against each other is scheduled for March 15. The friendly challenge is marked by a variety of chilis from the traditional Texas-style chili to the eco-friendly vegan entries and promises to once again tickle the discriminating palates of our members.
