July 5 |  Stop Crying! 

Did you ever notice that as soon as someone starts to cry, those around the person try to get them to stop? Do you know someone who goes out of their way to avoid crying? We will discuss the benefits of crying.  

— Peter House

July 12 | The Real Reason I Go to Breakfast 

As 21st-century Americans, we have become quite accustomed to having lots of choices, and having it “our way” whenever we want something. But do our choices sometimes blind us to what’s really important? 

— Peter House

​

July 19 | Resisting Erasure 

Join all three Rochester and Finger Lakes UU Congregations at First Universalist, downtown, at 10:30 am, for a special all-ages worship service to celebrate Pride!

— Peter House

 

July 26 | The Dozen Donut Scenario  

We all have things that bother us to the point that we obsess over them. All of the advice suggests that it’s best to push these thoughts away, and not dwell on them. But is there a benefit to gorging ourselves on them? 

— Peter House

*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.
