Upcoming Services
Sunday Service:
Bear Witness: Save Lives
10/2/22 at 10:30am
This will be a hybrid service, with the in-person portion being held in the sanctuary of First Universalist, and the virtual portion being held over Zoom.
As we build Beloved Community, it is vital that we are able to share our stories and trust that people will be still and bear witness to us, acknowledge, and accept what we share. We must be present with one another with an empathy that honors our different life experiences. CB will share about the spiritual practice of bearing witness, and trusting others to bear witness to us, with a particular focus on gender.
Speaker: CB Beal
We ask that anyone attending in-person wear a KN95 or N95 mask.
