Join First Universalist for a hybrid worship service (virtually and in-person) on March 29, 2026 at 10:30am for "Late to the Apocalypse" with Rev. Eileen Casey-Campbell! ❤️‍🩹 It sometimes feels like we’re living at the end of things, like these times are unprecedented. But if we look back at stories from our spiritual ancestors and from people around the world, we can see that we humans have been telling stories about apocalypse for a long, long time. So how do we make meaning of apocalypse in a world that keeps…not ending? The in-person portion of this event will be held in the First Universalist sanctuary! The online portion will be held via Zoom at the link provided. https://www.facebook.com/share/1DsZwkWpft/ Find the Zoom worship link in our Facebook event! We will be live-streaming this service in its entirety as well as conducting it in-person!

Some words of #WednesdayWisdom from a recent sermon "Hope Springs" with Rev. Eileen Casey-Campbell ❤️ "Sometimes it can feel like all we’ve planted for the world we dream of, the world of peace, justice, and love that we imagine, might never start to grow. But we come to church to plant in one another, just a little bit of hope. A little tiny seed is all it takes." #GetWise🧠 #Hope #Spring #Seed #Peace #Justice #Love

Join First Universalist for a hybrid worship service (virtually and in-person) on March 15, 2026 at 10:30am for "Fatness, Not Fascism" with Rev. Shari Quan! ❤️ Many of us carry stories about our bodies—stories shaped by shame, control, and the pressure to be “more” or “less.” We probably know that we’re not alone in carrying these stories, but what if this set of ideas isn’t just common but also part of a larger system that tells us who is worthy and who is not? Let's gently and honestly explore the connection between self-talk and truth, body policing and fascism, acceptance and freedom, and consider how honoring our bodies builds a more just and compassionate world.

Some words of #WednesdayWisdom from a recent sermon "What It Means to Be Real " with Rev. Eileen Casey-Campbell ❤️ "When we face up to the reality that Artificial Intelligence is not a god, it also lays bare the fear behind the lie that we have told about ourselves–that WE are nothing more than a collection of facts, true and untrue. We are particular and finite, fragile and lovely, ordinary and complicated, and so very messy. A.I. could very well replace our paid labor with automation, but the work we are here to do is not to be a machine. Our work is to belong to one another. Only someone real can square up to the truth of mortality. The joy and the sorrow in loving what doesn’t last, which is everything." #GetWise🧠 #ArtificialIntelligence #AI #Morality #Real

Some words of #WednesdayWisdom from a recent sermon "Beginning Again in Love" with Rev. Eileen Casey-Campbell ❤️ We can resist authoritarian power by being accountable for dismantling the scaffolding of white supremacy it has built inside of us and our communities. We can resist by being accountable for the safety of our neighbors and putting ourselves in the line of harm to protect them. We can resist by living out our accountability to one other in the form of mutual aid in our communities." #GetWise🧠 #Love #Fascism #MutualAid #Accountability #Power #Justice #community

Some words of #WednesdayWisdom from this past Sunday's sermon "Beginning Again in Love" with Rev. Eileen Casey-Campbell ❤️ "Harm-doing is so normalized that demanding accountability starts to feel like the real harm. Simply bearing witness to wrongdoing is cast as an offense. And deflection, avoidance, defensiveness, and gaslighting cause an added layer of trauma to those who are harmed. They serve to disperse blame like scattershot, so that it appears everyone shares it equally and no holds its true heft. When we lose the means to hold one another accountable, we lose relationship. We lose our humanity." #GetWise🧠 #Love #Fascism #Gaslighting #Accountability #Power #Justice

Some words of #WednesdayWisdom from this past Sunday's sermon "No One Stands Alone" with Rev. Eileen Casey-Campbell ❤️ "While we laud the brilliance of MLK, Jr., we cannot afford to lose sight of the multitudes that surround him. It isn’t that he doesn’t deserve veneration, we just need to honor him within the proper scope. When we zoom out, we can see the entirety of the liberatory hope that he, and many others, have been part of. When we zoom out, we can see ourselves as participants in the movement where the powerful are humbled, the oppressed are raised up, where everyone has enough, is enough, and where peace and justice go hand in hand. When we zoom out from the individual, we can see our place in the long moral arc of the universe and commit to our part in bending it toward justice". #GetWise🧠 #MLK #MartinLutherKingJr #MartinLutherKing #MLKDay2026 #MLKDay #Power #Justice
