Forum: Managing our Grief as We Navigate the Uncertainty of Climate Chaos

In acknowledging Earth Day on April 21st, members and friends of First Unitarian will gather in Griffin Hall at 11:15 a.m. to join the storytelling Climate Ribbon Project. Participants will be asked to answer “What do you love and hope to never lose to Climate Chaos?” followed by sharing what they are doing to mitigate the chaos and how others may join them. To learn more about the Climate Ribbon Project, click here.

Love and Ethics
Our commitment, as members of First Unitarian, is to “grow ethically and spiritually, serve justly, and love radically.” Let’s look at what the “grow ethically” part and the “love radically” part have to do with each other.
