Staying at The Table Makes All The Difference
“The world begins at a kitchen table. No matter what, we must eat to live.”
– Joy Harjo
Our spiritual gathering – much like a meal at a table, nourishes us, but also requires our participation. How does this ‘meal’ feed us and what does it ask of us in return? There might be instances that provoke us to consider leaving this ‘table’. Yet, when should such a step become the necessary course?
Addressing our relevance in the contemporary world, why do we choose to belong to the church today? And how do we ready ourselves and our community for the church love calls us now to become? What do we do with our own resistance?
Our journey is about growing faith into real resilience, cultivating the skills we need to navigate challenging exchanges and open ourselves to evolving perspectives.
In worship this Sunday, we connect with our spiritual community to mutually nourish and learn from one another, to remember why we’re here, to gather the tools we need for a future arriving already and always. We warmly invite you to join us in this journey of self-discovery and collective growth. In staying at the table, we’re choosing to make a difference, together.
Offering: Give via our online giving portal, or CashApp. Make sure to designate that it’s for the “Offering Plate” fund.
Masks are welcome but not required in the sanctuary. Read our COVID policies for gathering. Find information about childcare and Sunday morning options for children and youth here.
A Place to Start – in person, immediately after worship (option to join via zoom after the second service on the first Sunday of the month)
Facilitated by one of our members, A Place to Start is a brief, casual orientation to Unitarian Universalism and First Universalist Church. During this 40-minute class, participants will learn about the foundations of our faith tradition and opportunities to get involved. The facilitator will be holding a green “Here is A Place to Start” sign at the front of the sanctuary after the worship services. We look forward to welcoming you!
We host A Place to Start next on Nov. 5 and 19. If you can’t make it, or prefer to connect with a staff person one on one, please fill out the Visitor Connect form so we can follow up with you. Thank you!
