Celebration of Life Services

If you do not currently have a church home we encourage you to consider First Unitarian. From week to week our services vary significantly. Consider visiting us at least seven times and get to know us before deciding if this is the right place for the next stage of your personal journey. Our Lifespan Religious Education offerings include programs for preschoolers through adults. Visitors are always welcome.

The youth groups will continue the collection of items for the HELP office. Any and all canned or non-perishable food is gratefully accepted, and brought each week to the food pantry at Calvary Episcopal Church. Toiletry items, including toothpaste and toothbrushes, soap, toilet paper, deodorant, razors, and shampoo are also being collected. Bring your donations any Sunday and place in the collection baskets during the service.
