  • March 8, 2020- A Time For Everything
    At First Universalist, we promise to give, receive, and grow together. Sometimes though, we don’t have a whole lot to give. What does it mean to engage in the spiritual practice of receiving? How can we lean into the strength of community, trusting that there is more than enough to go around, trusting that we will be held, and that there is so much to learn by receiving? 
    Call to Worship- Satya Mamdani (:21)
    Reading- Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 (4:41)
    Sermon- Rev. Jen Crow (6:24)

  • March 1, 2020- Mine, Mine, Mine

    As soon as a toddler starts to learn to grasp they also learn to claim objects as theirs, but whet happens when we hold onto to this behavior in daily lives as adults? What are ideas and stories we holding on to? When does sharing cease to be a natural instinct? The culture of MINE limits our ability to grow and evolve authentically with others. This Sunday, we explore what might happen as we practice creating a culture of sharing in our families, our communities and our earth.

    Wisdom Story- Sue Searing (:31)

    Sermon- Rev. Karen Hutt (6:50)

  • February 16, 2020- When Things Fall Apart

    At the heart of despair is a sense of alienation and meaninglessness. What is the alternative to despair when the flames of hate are fanned, when ecological realities are ignored, and suffering deepens? What are the practices of hope and transformation we can learn from each other? How do we lift our gaze and act for the future? How do we participate in hope that is real and faith that is relevant? This Sunday, we explore the place of Universalism in the ongoing cycle of things falling apart and coming back together.

    Wisdom Story- Seth Matz (:31)

    Sermon- Rev. Ruth MacKenzie (4:28)
