Sunday Worship
Sunday, May 10: Mothering – It’s Complicated
This Sunday begins our summer worship schedule. We will have one service:
10 a.m. in person and livestreaming
Mother’s Day is a warm and wonderful day for some and brings up grief and trauma for others. With tenderness, we will crack open the idea of mothering, share the history of Mother’s Day, and reflect on the cultural perspective on the role of mothers.

Knit Yourself Into Community
May Newcomer Circle
Tuesdays, May 12, 19, 26, and June 2, 6:00-8:00 pm
Newcomers Circles create a rich, supportive environment in which to share and grapple with our emerging UU values, theology, identity, and sense of belonging. This 4-session gathering is a caring and structured group to dig deeper into Unitarian Universalism and further connection at church. This Circle is intended for members and non-members alike who are discerning if and/or how they will commit to and continue their spiritual journey at First U as Unitarian Universalists.
All In!
