- This Week: In Defense of Honest Abe
Starting soon after his death, Abraham Lincoln was regarded as the greatest American, not just by his fellow Americans, but by the world. But now there are those who seek to redefine him as a garden-variety racist. His statue has been toppled, along with those of Confederate generals. Phil Ebersole will set the record straight and present Lincoln in historical context.
- Next Week: Open Topic
Join us for our periodic break from a pre-determined discussion topic to allow us to relax together and share our concerns, wishes, ideas and dreams and listen thoughtfully to one another.
Weekly Midweek Meditation sessions are back up each Wednesday at 11:30am! Look on the
First Universalist homepage for details and a link!
A Message from the COVID Task Force
Our church staff has already begun to plan for our return to worshiping in our beautiful sanctuary on Sunday February 20. That planning will include hybrid worship so those who are unable to come to church in person can be included in the worship experience. Of course, when we are together we will need to follow safety protocols that include KN95 masks, full vaccination and social distancing. Those who are eligible for booster vaccine should arrange to have this additional protection since it makes a difference in protection against the consequences of Omicron infection. If you have questions/comments, please drop us an email or call us. We want to hear from you!
