On Sunday, July 20th, we will be having a poetry and music service. This year, we would love to have ALL of the poetry come from YOU, the members and friends of First Church. If you would like to submit a poem for consideration, please reach out to Stephanie Pawlowski, Commissioned Lay Minister at sbpawlowski@gmail.com by June 30, 2025.

The theme for this exciting service is transformation, one of our often under explored shared values. For UU’s, revelation is not sealed, or to use traditional “God language,” God’s word is never done. Instead, we gain new meaning and new depth through continuous transformation. What does transformation mean in the 21st century?

Please check out this reflection on our UU shared value of transformation for more inspiration from the UUA website.
