Services at First Universalist Parish
March 9, 2025: Poetry Sunday
10:30am, Potluck to follow
Synopsis: Bring a poem, Share a poem. This can be one that you created or one that is significant to you. The service will focus on the sharing of this written art form.
March 16, 2025: What does DEI look like in a Trump World?
10:30 am, Potluck to follow
Speaker: S K
Synopsis: Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) are the organizational frameworks that promote the fair treatment of all people, particularly groups who have historically been underrepresented or subject to discrimination. DEI efforts have been in place since 1865 and have evolved over time, gaining momentum greatly in the last 40 years, that is, until President Trump took office. President Trump calls DEI efforts "illegal and immoral discrimination programs" and through a three-phase process, he is leading a purge of diversity, equity, and inclusion unraveling years of work.
March 23, 2025: Soul Matters: The Practice of Invitation
10:30 am, Potluck to follow
Speaker: Someone Awesome (we are still lining up the speaker for this service, stay tuned).
Synopsis: We will be exploring a new UU resource-Soul Matters. The Soul Matters curriculum recognizes that "No one can do church alone". Soul Matters has developed, researched, curated, and crowd-sourced theme-based resources that enable us to think deeper about topics relevant to our faith. We will use this service to check out what Soul Matters is all about.
March 30, 2025: "What the Playwrights Have Taught Me"10:30 am, Potluck to follow
Speaker: Reverend Susan-Lynn Johns
Synopsis: This service is a celebration of the power of the spoken word and the philosophies behind them as shown through readings from several plays that still hold meaning for me--from tragedy to simple silliness.
Bio: Susan-Lynn was a member of FUP for about 20 years, some of which she served as pulpit supply and minister. She's now full-time minister of Irasburg United Church and preaches 3 times a month at Brownington Congregational Church. It's good to be back!
Musician: Janice Luce
Chalice Suncatcher

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.
