"The Opposite of Loneliness"
Worship Leader: The Rev. Sarah C. Stewart
Americans today suffer from loneliness. 50 percent of Americans report that they have no one to confide in other than their spouse--and many have no one at all. The ministries at First Unitarian Church seek to overcome loneliness and create connection. This morning we'll explore this goal for our community and take the time to connect with one another.

First Unitarian at Worcester Pride
Once again, with the help of the Social Justice Committee, First Unitarian is preparing to participate in Worcester Pride which is on Saturday, September 10, 2016.  There is overlap with the yard sale, but come make a day of it.  March in the Parade or staff the booth on the Commons and then go shop at the Yard Sale!  We will be organizing marchers, a cheering squad on the steps of the church and hosting a booth on the commons.  You will soon get information on how to sign up for any or all of the activities, so think about what you can do to make this a success.  There will be a need to have two "somewhat tall" people to set up and take down the canopy tent on the Commons.  Please contact Jeanine Beratta at [email protected] if you have questions.  Also, please contact Jeanine if there is anyone out there who knows how to design a silk screen for Tshirts and would be interested in helping.
