Program Submission for Fall 2025

First Universalist Church invites you to propose a program for the Fall 2025 season at church. Grounded in our First U Visionary Goals and our Unitarian Universalist Values (both of which you can see here), we're looking to nourish belonging this fall. Feeling connection and belonging sustains the work of justice-making and building Beloved Community within and beyond our walls. How can you make a space to deepen belonging?

If you have a seedling of an idea for a program, please reach out to Rev. Ashley via email (ashley@firstuniv.org) to discuss before submitting to the form.

Please submit a new form for each unique event. (A circle with several sessions is one unique event. A single day gathering is one unique event.) Programs to be included in the program guide may be scheduled between September 28 and December 21. This gives us ample lead time for publication, promotion, and recruitment.

Below is the fall programs timeline:

Sunday, August 24 - This Program Submissions form closes

Sunday, September 21 - Sign Up Sunday between and after worship

Do you have any specific needs or requests in terms of the space we assign your group?

Our current security practice is to assign a unique door code for each group to access the church building. If you have a personal code that you have been assigned, please do not give that out to anyone else. Some existing groups may already have a door code. Does your group have a door code already?

Yes No Not sure

Format (please note that the church has a limited ability to provide tech support for programs):
