Thank you to all of our talented musicians who shared their voices and instruments with our congregation this past Sunday! View the full service under “Past Services” on our website (or linked in our bio). Music Sunday is always a special Sunday and this year was no different. The songs selected celebrate togetherness and love, picked from some favorites during COVID lockdown, when music was one of the main things holding us all together. by @phillyuu

We are grateful for the dozens of congregants and fellow people of faith who rose up with us this past Wednesday, joining in spirit and song to call for the end of ICE in our city and country. Thanks especially to member Nik Kroushl for organizing the Vigil! This was the 9th of 40 interfaith New Sanctuary Movement vigils to be held in front of the Philly ICE office. Join other communities of faith in calling for radical transformation on Wednesdays at 12pm. Visit @nsmphilly for more information. Photos by @abireimoldphoto by @phillyuu

“They want you to feel powerless and surrender and let them trample everything and you are not going to let them. You are not giving up, and neither am I. The fact that we cannot save everything does not mean we cannot save anything and everything we can save is worth saving.” - Rebecca Solnit You’re not alone in fear and heartbreak. Join us at 11am on Sunday in person at 2125 Chestnut St. or on Zoom. Find the Zoom link on our website: www.philauu.org. Our Worship services are a mixture of music, reflections, reading, and a sermon. “With every year that passes, I become more convinced that “help” is the most sacred word. No one survives alone. Keep breathing. Stay close.” - Black Liturgies Author Cole Arthur Riley If you’re interested in learning more about Unitarian Universalism, stay after service for Seekers with Rev. Alexandre at 12:30pm, which is a chance to get to know others on the path to membership by reflecting and sharing on your spiritual journey and the BIG questions you bring with you to First Unitarian Church. This time is a mixture of silence, meditation, and exploring alongside fellow newcomers. by @phillyuu

You may not notice it every Sunday. You can’t see it from the street. But after years of intentional planning, fundraising, budgeting, designing, and countless volunteer hours, we have a new Sanctuary roof. One that will last a generation. A promise to our future. A building for tomorrow. It is a huge accomplishment to get this done, especially while treasured community spaces and historic church buildings are demolished around the city, as repair costs soar out of reach. With our building repaired, we look forward to many more years housing our congregation, as well as artistic, civic, educational, and spiritual activities and so much more. Thank you for your generous contributions to our Capital Campaign! With your support we now have a brand new Sanctuary roof! We have also had extensive Sanctuary masonry repairs carried out over the spring and summer to take advantage of the scaffolding that was already in place. The Sanctuary roof replacement and repairs have been a big lift this year, coordinated by congregants in the Property Working Group, Capital Projects Group, and Friends of 2125, and church staff. by @phillyuu

We are excited to offer another Men’s Group session this fall every other Tuesday, beginning September 15.
