A SUMMER OF SERVICES

Summer Schedule: In-Person & Online Sundays @ 10 am

August 6 Poetry Service

Rev. Kelly Crocker, Roz Woodward, and FUS Poets

We continue our beloved tradition of sharing the poems of our FUS community. Poets from our congregation will read selections of their own work on the topic of summer, play, whimsy and wonder, all that these summer months bring to us. Many in our community draw upon poetry to inspire us with fresh insight, give voice to our deeper thoughts and emotions, and strengthen our sense of who we are and the meaning of our lives. We continue this tradition because we honor the voices of the poets among us and know that poetry has the power to heal us, challenge us, and bring us together.

AUGUST 13 @ 11 AM UU GATHERING AT VILAS PARK!

with the ministers and members of FUS, JRUUC, and PUUF

We are so very excited to share that we will be hosting a Madison UU Gathering in the Park! Ministers and members of First Unitarian Society, James Reeb UU Congregation, and Prairie UU Fellowship will be creating a service that celebrates the connections that live among us as UUs. We hope that you will join us for worship and fellowship, bring a picnic and stay and enjoy the day together. The FUS Anybody Choir will sing the spiritual “Keep Your Lamps.”

August 20 Celebrating Pride

Revs. Kelly Asprooth-Jackson and Kelly Crocker

Now more than ever, we must find all the ways we can joyfully and enthusiastically support, uplift and love our LGBTQ+ family. The attacks on this community are relentless and our siblings are tired and worn. Join us as we find the strength together to celebrate the rainbow of folks who live their lives and celebrate their loves unapologetically and out loud. This is a time to pledge our support and our willingness to fight for their freedom, their rights, their very existence. We must care for those in the LGBTQ+ community as if all our lives depend on it, because it does. This Sunday we will care for our people, we will joyously celebrate them all, we will shout out the beauty of their lives and their love.

August 27 Resisting Tyranny

Revs. Kelly Asprooth-Jackson and Kelly Crocker

This is the second time we are holding this service that is created by YOU! Last year we answered your questions on the meaning of our chalice, what UUism means to us, how we reconcile with the destructive forces of our world, and more. Now it’s your turn again: send us your questions and we will do our best to answer as many as we can in one service!
