| The “CommUUnity in Challenging Times” organizers are developing a list of services and service providers available to help our members and friends navigate through these challenging times. We will have a table each Sunday in Fellowship Hall after the services at which a specific topic will be presented. The current directory (click here for up-to-date version) will also be available at the table, along with sign-up sheets to request specific assistance or to offer your own services. |

What is the origin of the chalice in Unitarian Universalist worship? What is the relationship between Unitarian Universalists and the early Puritans? How have Emerson and the Transcendentalists shaped our present practices? If Unitarian Universalist Association had a spiritual canon, what works would or should be included?
UU History Nuts is a study group born out of the Rev. Eric Meter's February/March 2009 history course. Participants are also the presenters and include a recovering fundamentalist, an excommunicated Catholic, a Reform Jew, an ordained UU minister, a MIT scientist, and an ESL teacher. |

 Interested in ride sharing to the First Unitarian Universalist Church? Sign up here for a free account and either offer rides or request rides. PickupPals can track the number of rides you have given or taken and the number of miles you’ve traveled via ride sharing. We’ll be able to keep track of the amount of carbon emissions we have reduced as a result - one more step to being the first zero footprint congregation in Ohio!
Instructions are on the site, and a  user’s guide is here.
