ANNOUNCEMENTS FOR AUGUST 31, 2014:
NEXT SERVICE: Sunday, September 7: Ingathering Sunday. Homily: "Lost and Found." Join us in a joyful service as we welcome one another home from summer journeys far, near, and within; celebrate the beginning of the regular church year; and give thanks for the blessings of religious community.
NEXT DROP-IN DISCUSSION: Sunday, September 7: The Afterlife. Universalism is the doctrine that a loving God will not send any of his children to Hell after they die. But what, if anything, happens after we die? How do our beliefs about the afterlife affect the way we live? Phil Ebersole will lead a discussion.
ARE YOU NEW TO FIRST UNIVERSALIST? Have you come a few times and want to find out more about Unitarian Universalism and our congregation? Then stop by the Welcome Table in the Clara Barton Lounge during coffee hour. You'll find friendly folks there every Sunday who are eager to talk with you!
