FRIENDSHIP & MEMBERSHIP
Spiritual comfort and longing.
Challenge and opportunity.
Seeking and finding.
Community and individuality.
Perhaps you felt it while sitting in a pew during a worship service, as someone voiced similar doubts or ideas in a discussion group, as you sung the children out to class.
If First Universalist is where you find connection, where you make meaning of the world, where you are revitalized, where you find strength, talk to us about
becoming a member.
