Upcoming Worship Services
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
First Unitarian Society of Ithaca services are held in person Sundays at 10:30 am. We are located at the corner of Aurora St. and Buffalo St (306 N. Aurora Street). The church does not have a parking lot, but there is free parking on the nearby city streets on Sundays and the Town of Ithaca allows us to use their lot on Sundays (on Buffalo Street, directly across from the church).
Join us after service at Coffee Hour in the church parlor for a time of connection.
Sunday Services are also Live Streamed from the sanctuary on our YouTube Channel. If you are unable to attend in person, we would love for you to join us virtually! Just click on the link above each Sunday at 10:30 am (or you can watch it later at your convenience).
Our services feature inspiring words, music, and stories exploring themes in a multigenerational context. We are excited to welcome you! Information about upcoming services is listed below. View Past Services.
Sunday, February 2, “The Principle and Practice of Inclusion”
Rev. Peaches Gillette
In our culture, words that have virtuous connotations are used as ethical absolutes, but it is important to examine this notion.
Special music by Roberta Crawford, viola
Sunday, February 9, “A Love That Embraces All”
Emily Richards, CRE
Join us for a celebration of love in all of its forms in this fun and engaging multi-generational service. Love has the potential to create a place of belonging for all of us. How can we embrace the love that is the center of everything?
Special music by Stephanie Ortolano
Sunday, February 16, “Thinking About Ghosts”
Featured speaker David Salomon, FUSIT member
David Salomon reflects on the many mysterious, invisible things that both haunt and inspire us. From the dirt under your couch, to our shared history, to microorganisms, to the divine, we are surrounded by things that we can’t see yet which frighten, motivate, and enlighten us. What ghosts are in your attic?
Special music by Rachel Liao, violin
Sunday, February 23, “Embracing Generosity”
Emily Richards, CRE
The true blessing of inclusion is not that we get to come inside the circle; it’s that we get to participate in expanding it. As the circle grows, so do we. Please join us in this celebration of our generosity, collective care for one another, and stewardship of this community.
