Sunday Service:
Letting Go of Ourselves
7/14/24 at 10am
Life is full of goodbyes. The longer we live, the more loved ones we have to say goodbye to. While it’s painful, we do survive, and life goes on. Are there lessons to be learned from these experiences about how to say the biggest goodbye of all?
​
Speaker: Peter House
​
This will be a hybrid service, with the in-person portion being held in the sanctuary of First Universalist, and the virtual portion being held over Zoom.​
