Multi-generational Peace Vigil

October 3, 6:30-7:30 p.m.

In honor of the annual UN International Day of Peace, we invite you to participate in a Peace Vigil at the Holden Street UU Church. This event features music by the Unitonians and the joint teen choir, singing for all ages, a story, quiet meditation, and lotus blossoms with promises of peace floated in pools on the front lawn. The evening will conclude with candles held high around the Peace Pole. Don’t miss a most extraordinary opportunity to participate in this circle of peace. We welcome families and children as well as friends and neighbors of all ages from the Worcester community.

225th Anniversary Happenings

First Unitarian Church will celebrate its 225th anniversary in 2010. Event planning to honor this milestone is underway. One way YOU can get involved is with 225 ACTS OF KINDNESS. If you did not get a little "acts of kindness" notebook at the Opportunity Fair, stop by the Welcome Table and pick one up. Here's how it works. Just mark down 225 individual acts of kindness in your little book during our celebration year. What you mark down can be just a number, date or the specific act of kindness. The act can be anything from picking up a piece of trash, letting a car in ahead of you, relieving your spouse of a chore, sending a check to charity, etc. The idea is to be aware, take note and mark your book. So, if 225 people complete 225 acts of kindness, that’s 50,625 good deeds, done as a gift for and in celebration of First Unitarian Church’s 225th Anniversary. It might be fun to share your entries with family members. Children can participate too!
