October 20 | Housing for All

First Universalist's shared justice initiative focuses on creating housing opportunities for those around us and on educating those of us who are housing secure about an ongoing housing crisis. Wondering how you can get involved? Please come to this service to learn more and to find ways to put your faith into action!

​

October 27 | You Are Not Forgotten *Remembrance Sunday*

An annual service of remembrance and grief. People who attend are invited to bring pictures and mementos of those you love who have died for a shared altar. In story, song, and ritual, we will gather to honor those we miss and to tend to grief as a community.

— Rev. Lane-Mairead Campbell â€‹

​

*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.
