Program Submission for Summer 2025

First Universalist Church invites you to propose a program for the Summer season at church. Grounded in our First U Visionary Goals and our Unitarian Universalist Values (both of which you can see here), we're considering these questions in 2025:
What are the needs of our community? How can we meet them together?

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 June 8 and September 21. We ask that facilitators not schedule gatherings between May 18 (the end of the Winter/Spring Program Season) and June 8. This gives us ample lead time for publication, promotion, and recruitment.

Below is the Summer 2025 programs calendar:

Sunday, May 18 - This Program Submissions form closes

By Saturday, May 31 - Program Guide published online

Sunday, June 1 - Printed Program Guide available

Sunday, June 1 - Sign-Up Sunday between and after worship

June 8 - September 21 - Summer Programs take place

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?
