Following the murder of Breonna Taylor, protesters from around Louisville took to the streets. For five days during that time, First U Lou opened our doors in support, culminating in providing overnight Sanctuary when a curfew was declared. We will remember First U Lou’s role in those days. The service is followed by lunch and a workshop  (1:00—2:30 pm) to continue the conversation.

All are welcome.

Watch the video of the service HERE.

On Sept. 7 we will share half the funds collected during the offering with BLUU (Black Lives of Unitarian Universalism) in honor of the memory of our long time member Audrey Little who also regularly participated in BLUU’s virtual worship and online events.   Since its founding, BLUU has established a popular virtual worship space for Black people, hosted a symposium centering Black UU theology, organized UU congregations to donate and organize for bailout funds; and started a vibrant youth ministry. In addition to tending to the spiritual lives of its members, BLUU also started a Cooperative Housing Initiative project that embodies our commitment to improve the material conditions of Black lives as an act of our faith.
