September's Plate Recipient

Meadville Lombard Theological School is a UU graduate institution in Chicago whose mission is to educate ground-breaking leaders who will awaken individuals and communities to liberation and justice, and build world-healing communities. It is one of only two seminaries dedicated specifically to UU ministerial education in the U.S. It is also the alma mater of Rev. Lennox, who received their Master of Divinity degree there in 2021.

REMEMBER: Write “Plate” on your check’s memo if you want half of your gift to go to this month’s designated non-profit; write “Pledge” if you want it to count towards your annual pledge; checks with no memo designation will go to Unpledged Gifts and support the church’s operating budget.

UCH Auction

Leaving PA, Route 30 passes through the Ohio River town of Chester, WV, founded in 1896, and possibly named after Chester, PA! Located just off the exit is the famous Chester Teapot! It represented the town’s large pottery industry. Originally barrel-shaped, it was converted from a Hires Root Beer sign.

You could offer an afternoon of tea, or even root beer, for our 2026 UCH Auction. To donate or ask questions, please contact uchauction@gmail.com.

"Honoring Our Firsts"

Cory Ness and Yvonne DuVal

Firsts are a lifelong experience—indeed, a daily one. Yet many of us experience some of our most foundational and transformative firsts during the turbulent years of early adulthood. We will honor those firsts, as well as the many firsts we encounter throughout every stage of life, from our earliest days as babies to our elder years. For our firsts are holy, and you are holy for living through them. You are asked to bring a backpack, purse, or bag for a special blessing.
