Tuesday, February 6 | Drop-In Discussion: Universal Character of the Hebrew Bible
While many of us know the Hebrew Bible to contain legal commands, statutes, and judgments, its universal character and echoes of other religious ideas are lesser known. However a brief review of its legal codes, mythic narratives, and structure will reveal ideals that are found beyond the confessional walls of the synagogue. Our guest presenter is Daniel Chadwick, online professor of Religious Studies.
Drop-in Discussions meet via Zoom on Tuesday nights from 6:30-7:30pm. Look on the First Universalist homepage for details and a link, or click the Zoom meeting link in this blurb title!
Thursday, February 8 | Eastman at Washington Square: "Luna Piano Trio"
Eastman at Washington Square Concerts take place on Thursdays at 12:15 to 12:45pm in our sanctuary. February 8 is "Luna Piano Trio": Join us for some beautiful chamber music performed by Eastman students Jaewon Jun, violin, Taylor Yoon, cello, and Karina Tseng, piano. Admission is free!
Saturday, February 10 | Article 2: What Are Our UU Values and Why Are We Getting Rid of the Principles?!?!
The UUA has been working for the past three years on a statement of our shared UU values, held in Article 2 of the UUA bylaws. A change is coming to Unitarian Universalism that would remove the 7 Principles from the bylaws and replace them with stated values that are shared in Unitarian Universalism. As a vote will come before General Assembly this June, Rev. Lane-Mairead and Rev. Michelle will be leading a workshop on Saturday, February 10, from 10-11:30am so you can learn more. Please join in the discussion online or in-person!

Housing For All Interest Form!
Recently we asked you to fill out a checklist of proposed projects for Housing For All. If you missed it, we still want to know your interests! Please pick up a paper copy of the list titled “Group Projects - Interest Areas” at either entrance to the sanctuary, fill it out and leave it in the box at the front of the sanctuary. Or fill out the online form here. This is to indicate interest, not a commitment. We want to hear from you, whether you’re a long-time member or new to the church. Questions? Ask Marti Eggers or Chris DeGolyer.
