UPCOMING SERVICES
January 5: “The Spirituality of Entropy,” Meredith Plummer, DLSFD
This service has been cancelled due to impending weather predictions. Stay safe!
It is said that our universe is continuously expanding, bringing ever greater amounts of disorder and chaos to the cosmos. As we begin another year, how will we face the disorder and chaos that will inevitably unfold here on Earth, in our personal lives? We’ll take a look towards the heavens, and ourselves, for the answers.
January 12: “The Legacy of Dr. King in an Authoritarian Age,” Tim Kraus
With the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King’s 96th Birthday coming on January 15, it is appropriate for us to examine what the Beloved Community can look like in 2025 and beyond. Join us as Tim Kraus explores Dr. Martin Luther King’s theology and legacy as we face uncertain times in our nation and the world.
January 19: “The Collective Wisdom Plate,” Dr. Alexander Riegel
One of the unique things about being a Unitarian Universalist is that we have the religious freedom to draw from any source(s) of wisdom and inspiration as we walk our spiritual paths. In this sermon, we will draw from the collective wisdom plate and Dr. Riegel will reflect upon the meaning of whatever piece of spiritual wisdom the plate presents for consideration. *This sermon topic is subject to change.
January 26: “This Spider… This Moonlight,” Dr. Alexander Riegel
Dr. Riegel has been known to flavor his sermons with tidbits from the philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche. In this sermon he will present what he considers to be Nietzsche’s most constructive philosophical idea, which possesses a powerful philosophical/religious challenge/vision for us all. “Would you not curse the demon who spoke thus, or, would you bow down before him and say, ‘Never have I heard anything more divine!’” *This sermon topic is subject to change.
All are welcome to join our services. We gather every Sunday at 10:00 a.m.

We are a caring Unitarian Universalist community in the centrally located Avondale neighborhood of Cincinnati. We meet in a warm and graceful building, circa 1889, for worship services that nourish spiritual growth and learning throughout life. A self-governed congregation in good standing with the Unitarian Universalist Association, we are an active force for positive change through a variety of activities that serve our members and our community.
If you are a member here, an internet traveler or a spiritual searcher, if you are experiencing hard times and need a hand up or are a social justice advocate, come to First Church and share in the celebration of life’s journey. We cherish human diversity, the differences in sex, age, race, ethnicity, national origin, range of abilities, sexual orientation, gender identity, financial means, education, theology and political perspective. These values apply to all of the activities of our Congregation.
COME, COME, WHOEVER YOU ARE!
Our Doors Are Open!
