This service turns our attention to the quiet magic of tending—of keeping the fire, sweeping the floor, stirring what nourishes. Here, faith is not about power over, but power with. Drawing on earth-honoring wisdom and UU theology, we’ll explore spirituality rooted in presence, care, and attention rather than spectacle.
By Rev. Sarah Prickett
With music by Women’s Chorus
Food on the First is this Sunday. We invite you to bring nonperishable food items such as peanut butter, canned beans and vegetables, tuna, pasta and sauce, macaroni and cheese (especially the type that doesn’t require extra ingredients), rice, cereal, canned fruit, and other shelf-stable staples. Items that are easy to prepare and kid-friendly are especially helpful. In addition to donated food items, all plate collections on the First will be given directly to the local food bank to help provide fresh food and other essential supplies. Thank you for your generosity and for helping us care for our community in this tangible and compassionate way.
