Tuesday, October 24 | Drop-In Discussion:
What Floats Your Boat?
From Noah’s Ark to cruise ships, what is this compulsion we have to travel by water? We will discuss ways and reasons people have historically had for traveling via boat and share some of our own boating experiences. Beth Ares will facilitate. 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!

Housing For All: Sock it to Me!
Winter is coming, that’s for sure, but people experiencing homelessness aren’t sure of much of anything. Where can I sleep tonight? How can I stay warm and safe? Housing For All, our all-congregation, two-year social justice project, is gearing up its Service arm by collecting socks to distribute to organizations that provide shelter and/or assistance to these folks. You can begin your participation in Housing For All by bringing new, white socks to a collection box in the Clara Barton Lounge during the month of November. Let’s fill it up to overflowing! Thanks!
