​Join us on Thursday, April 25 at 6pm in Bard Hall for our Community Passover Seder. Led by Marshall Voit and the Worship Team, we will join together in song, story, and a ritual meal to commemorate the Jewish exodus from slavery in Egypt. The church will provide all ritual food items, drinks, and a light dessert. Please bring a dish to share at our vegetarian, kosher-for-Passover pot luck.
Please make sure your recipes avoid the following ingredients: meat or meat products (dairy is ok); bread or flour, including wheat, spelt, barley, oats, and rye; beer and most liquor. Rice and beans are a gray area; you may include them, but please label your dish upon arrival for anyone who abstains from those ingredients on Passover. Quinoa is fine. Here’s a guide to preparing kosher-for-Passover food.
Please RSVP to [email protected] by Monday, April 22. Thank you, and chag Pesach sameach, have a happy Passover!

Sad News About Rev. Dr. Carolyn Owen-Towle

​Dear Ones of First UU,
It is with a heavy heart that we write to tell you of the death of Rev. Dr. Carolyn Owen-Towle, beloved minister emerita of this congregation.  Carolyn experienced an inoperable aortic tear late last week and her status declined rapidly.  Tom gathered the family and brought Carolyn home with hospice for her final days.  She died on Monday evening, surrounded by love.  Tom is doing as well as can be expected and he expresses his appreciation for our love and prayers, welcomes our emails and cards, but asks that we hold off on calls or visits for the time being.

A Special Message from Rev. Justine Sullivan, Developmental Lead Minister

A Special Message from Rev. Justine Sullivan, Developmental Lead Minister
I have spent the last few days, as I imagine many of you have, reading about and watching news accounts of the horrific violence that is occurring in Israel and the surrounding areas.  Many of us have loved ones with direct ties to the affected area.  All of us are heartbroken by the terrible loss of life and the escalating bloodshed. In our congregations and across our movement, the conversations about the conflicts between Israel and her Palestinian neighbors have been difficult.  As passionate people of faith, committed to justice, we must engage issues that are complicated, and which contain multiple stories and points of view. Doing so with compassion and respect is not always easy.  I call for prayer for the all those caught in the crossfire, all those worried for the safety of those who have been kidnapped, all those mourning their dead.  All are beloved, and we pray for their comfort and safety.  We pray also for a way forward. On Wednesday, October 11, we will gather for a brief time of prayer, meditation, and song at 6:30 pm in Bard Hall.  We will light a chalice, offer prayers for peace, and Marshall will lead us in song.  I will offer a similar time for prayer from South Bay. On Friday, October 13, at South Bay at 6:30 pm, please join me in person or on Zoom using this link: https://bit.ly/Southbayprayervigil10-13-23. Beloveds, at moments like this I am especially grateful to be part of a faith movement that can as Rev. Dr. Sofía Betancourt calls us to do “center justice as we call for peace.”  And I am ever grateful to serve our faith with you.
