Upcoming Services

January 2025

January 5 | Let's Talk About Gender, Baby

We need to have some conversations about gender in our congregations, our families, even within our own hearts. Even when it might seem, in times like these, that these conversations are frivolous or unnecessary, they are more important than ever. So let's talk about it: what even is gender? And why does it matter?

— Rev. Eileen Casey-Campbell

January 12 | The Emptiness of Masculinity

In conversations about unpacking "toxic masculinity," the question of what "healthy masculinity" is inevitably comes up. Is there a definable essence of masculinity that can be drawn on as a positive source for men and those in the masculine gradients of the gender spectrum? And what might the search for this essence teach us about gender, identity, and reality?

— Rev. AJ VanTine

January 19 | Representation is Not Equity

A service on visual representation as well as interpersonal representation and why having friends who are different from you does not create equity. From the legacy of Martin Luther King, Jr., we are called to take action to create equity in this community, in our city, and in the world.

— Rev. Lane-Mairead Campbell

January 26 | TBA

*First Universalist has a long-standing tradition of having one Sunday sermon a month be presented by someone other than our minister. Our lay-led services give our minister well-deserved unscheduled time, as well as allowing us to share our individual spiritual journeys, experiences and diverse world views, which is an important part of our rich Unitarian Universalist heritage.
