    Services at First Universalist Parish
 
April 27, 2025: 
10:30 am, Potluck to follow
Speaker: Sybille Andersen
Title: Reflections from a Midwife: Changes and Challenges
Synopsis: Midwifery is a profession that is centered in women's rights and empowerment-giving birth can and should be an experience that strengthens women not just in the long hours (days) of birth but in future challenges we all experience in life.  Sybille will share her experience working for women's rights in reproductive health through her time as a midwife and also share how we all (men, too) can advocate for choice in birthing and in all things healthcare.
Bio: More to come!  Stay tuned to the weekly eblasts sharing information about the upcoming week!
Musician: Janice Luce

May 4, 2025: 
10:30 am, Potluck to follow
Speaker: Kim Prangley
Title: Joy is Like the Rain
Synopsis: What is JOY?  Kim thinks Joy is something that is very specific and personal to people.  We pursue it throughout life, but Joy can also be elusive, depending on how we define it and what we expect.
Bio: A dual citizen born in Newport, Kim is a very familiar face to many as she ran the Haskell Library and Opera House for nearly 25 years. After many years of loss and sorrow, in 2005 she jumped out into the Universe without a net in an attempt to find some meaning and purpose to her life---something she continues to do as she walks to the beat of her own drum.
Musician: Janice Luce

May 11, 2025: 
10:30am, Potluck to follow
Speaker: Valarie Viveros
Title: Motherhood and Foster Parenthood
Synopsis: Valarie will share about her experiences as a foster care provider and as a mother.  She will also open up the reflection to the congregation to reflect upon a few questions about mothering, motherhood, and mothers of all kinds.
Musician: Janice Luce

Chalice Suncatcher

$20.00
We have a limited supply of our Chalice Suncatchers. To Unitarian Universalists today the flaming chalice is a symbol of hope, the sacred, the quest for truth, the warmth of community, the light of reason, and more. We light a flaming chalice in worship to create a reverent space for reflection, prayer, meditation, and singing. We can ship to you for an additional charge.
