Upcoming Events at FirstU
Burning Passions Theatre presents:
A Circle of Time Tuesday, April 1 - 1:00pm Fellowship Hall - Admission is Free In collaboration with FirstU Ottawa and the Seniors Sharing Stories theatre troupe, this new play by Laurel Smith explores the lives of those entering retirement as part of the sandwich generation: women juggling the needs of adult children and elderly parents while trying to chart a course for their own lives in the post 9-to-5 world. 
Introducing Ourselves
Sunday, April 13 - 12:00pm NOW Room (downstairs) This will be a small group, casual gathering after Sunday Service. You will share with other newcomers what brought you to FirstU, hear and ask about the basics of Unitarian Universalism and get some insight into how FirstU functions and ways you can get connected here. Brent Nicolle and Reverend Eric Meter will be your guides and the gathering will last about two hours. A light lunch will be served. Email [email protected] for more information and to register. 
Mystery Pals is Back!
Mystery Pals is a four week intergenerational group activity composed of pairs of secret pen-pals: one young person and one adult. Pairs get to know each other as pen pals for three Sundays by exchanging messages at a “post office” here at FirstU. Messages could be notes, cards, riddles, puzzles, baby pictures, book and movie recommendations, hints about identity, and small trinkets. On the fourth and final Sunday, Mystery Pals meet in person at a special breakfast before service that day. Click HERE for further details plus child and adult registration. |
