Tuesday, October 3 | Drop-In Discussion:
Rochester Housing Authority
An overview of RHA’s purpose and functions, how the agency responds to needs, and how they fit into current priorities recently promoted by the Mayor’s office. Perhaps we will touch on the intersection of racism, poverty and housing, as our church’s social justice focus is “Housing for All.” Melissa Berrien, Family Self Sufficiency Supervisor presents. 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!

Our monthly food ingathering for the Community Food Cupboard of Rochester at Nester Street is happening at our service on October 8! Low-sodium non-perishable food, toiletries, paper products, and cash are always needed!
Sunday, October 8 | Book Group: “How Dare The Sun Rise”
Our book group selection for October is “How Dare The Sun Rise” by Sandra Uwiringiyimana. The Book Group will meet at noon in the Chalice Room.
