This week, Ramadan’s fasting gives way to feast and Passover’s story of liberation begins again. This weekend, we celebrate a UU Easter,  gathering to honor the resurrection of naming each other’s holiness. We hold the ancient Jesus story against the backdrop of our own tyrannical times: crucifixions and abductions still carried out by federal agents, trans beloveds “unnamed” by the state. And still—resurrection is already happening, and always has been: in every act of naming that restores dignity, in every community that refuses erasure, in every future we dare to call into being by rising together. Come practice that resurrection among us.

Families of children and youth: This is a Common Ground Sunday—learn more here.

Child Dedication is a beloved ritual of our congregation and many Unitarian Universalist congregations. In Child Dedication, our congregation pledges itself to partner with parents and families in the religious upbringing of their children. We promise to support the family as their child grows. Child Dedication is a community event, honoring an intentional and ongoing relationship between families and our religious community. 

Child Dedications take place twice each year during a Sunday morning worship service. Our next Child Dedication service is coming soon on Sunday, April 12, at both the 9 and 11 a.m. worship services. Children of members and those on the path to membership may be dedicated at First Universalist. If you are interested in having your child/ren dedicated in our upcoming service on April 12, please fill out the form:

In community, participants explore the practical and spiritual sides of what relevant, sustainable church membership means to them.
