We will converse about First U’s monthly theological themes to get the conversation started; you’ll have the opportunity to explore any topic, including our congregation, the seven principles, the six sources, or anything that comes up. This is not a class, but a discussion group about all things UU facilitated by Chuck Blocher, who is pretty new to First U himself. You can drop in and get to know other UUs—no need to sign up or make a long commitment. We meet once a month on the first Tuesday at 7:00 pm. Meeting ID: 823 9345 8787
