“This is my Forever Church – this old dog has found her forever home in a community which operates by principles that I’ve come to recognize as aligned with my own. There are people who, with scarcely concealed contempt, refer to people as “givers” and “takers”. I have come to understand that we are all givers and takers, sometimes even at the same time. First Unitarian Universalist has shown me that I am welcome just as I am, and I am invited to give of my means, both material and otherwise. There is a real commitment to the first principle in this church and I am so grateful.”
