October 2026​​

​

October 4 | Whose Bones Do We Carry?
Our ancestors—familial and spiritual—have given us so much that we still carry. Which inheritances feel like gifts? And which feel like heavy baggage?  

— Rev. Eileen Casey-Campbell

​

October 11 | We've Only Just Begun
In an age of instant everything, what does it mean to be new at something? Against the tide of urgency, how might our ways of the past anchor us as beginners? 
— Meghan Garvey

​

October 18 | Creation Unfolding
The stories we carry about how things came to be are always stories about who we are right now. Our origin stories are always pointing to an ever-unfolding fount of creation.— Rev. Eileen Casey-Campbell

​

October 25 | Inside That Monster
What do we carry underneath all the costumery and artifice we put on? Who are we under what we show the world? And how do we get to what’s real?

— Rev. Eileen Casey-Campbell

November 29 | The Choice To Be Uncertain

— Jay Joslin

*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.
