- This Week: Pretty Little Lies
In the wake of the Christmas holidays, what are some of the religious, cultural, theological and traditional "lies" that bother you? Are they Biblical mistranslations or cultural manipulations? In this new era of truth telling, what "lies" do you see getting a face lift? How could you revise a "truer" celebration? Email Rev. Michelle at edu@uuroc.org if you have ideas for our discussion, or topics you would like to know the "true" story behind.
- Next 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.
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
We thank everyone who participated in our listening session. We will be following NYS and U of R models for determining when we might be together. We will recommend gathering again when there have been 3 weeks of reduced cases reported by the Monroe County Dept. of Public Health. When we are back in our building, COVID will still be with us. Our protocols of mask wearing and social distancing will still be in place. We thank you for your patience and support. If you have questions/comments, please drop us an email or call us. We want to hear from you!
