"Love at the Center: Recognition Sunday"

If it takes a village to raise a child, it takes a community to allow a congregation to hum and strum, to survive and thrive. Each congregational year, thousands of hours are spent embodying who we are, how we are, and what we are. Let’s pay attention, with gratitude as our guide, to this most-amazing effort that is the essence of First UU. For the second time this year, we will be welcoming new members at this service. Rev. Karen is in the pulpit.

After the service, there will be a congregation-wide potluck picnic. Plan to stick around to connect and reconnect. For more details about what you can bring, click here.

Infants and toddlers are always welcome in the Sanctuary, but the nursery, on the lower level, is open if needed.

Join us for worship in person in the Sanctuary, or online. The livestream link and order of service will be shared at bit.ly/FUUSBWorship, or visit our YouTube channel.

While at the Meeting House, anyone is welcome to wear a mask. In the spirit of caring for each other, please stay home if you have any cold or flu symptoms. Thank you.

Dandelion- June's Earth Teacher

Rev. Karen G. Johnston, Senior Minister

An invitation to deepen your relationship with the natural world by spending each month reflecting on a specific Earth Teacher. June's Earth Teacher is Dandelion and the date for the virtual reflection session has changed to Sunday, June 2, 2024 7:00 - 8:15 pm.  Please register through Realm to attend.

Please bring a way to journal (writing, drawing, keyboarding). Optional: a chalice to light. This session includes individual reflection and small group work, using content from the Earth Teacher packet sent out electronically to the FUUSB congregation at the end of the month before. Familiarity with the packet is not necessary.

This is our last Earth Teacher session until the fall.
