This Sunday, November 6, we open the theme of “Giving, Receiving (as love shows us how).” We’ll enter the theme through the Tonglen practice, a Buddhist practice that invites us to open our hearts and spirits to giving and receiving and in doing so, soften our hearts and live more deeply into the experience of our interdependence. Drawing on the work of rev. angel Kyodo Williams and Lama Rod Owens, we’ll have time for practice, song, and reflection as love leads the way.

ORDER OF SERVICE: available as a google doc and on this page (screen reader & mobile friendly version) by Friday.

OFFERING: Give via our online giving portal, or CashApp. Make sure to designate that it’s for the “Offering Plate” fund.

A Place to Start – in person, immediately after the services, with an option to join via zoom after second service (around noon) 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. If you attend, please fill out the Visitor Connect form so we can follow up with you! Thank you!

We host A Place to Start every first and third Sundays of the month, immediately after both worship services. The facilitator will be holding a “Here is A Place to Start” sign at the front of the sanctuary after the worship services. We look forward to welcoming you!
