If you’ve been thinking about attending a Path to Membership class but haven’t been able to make it on a Saturday morning, there is an evening class coming up in March! The class is an opportunity to learn more about Unitarian Universalism and the First Unitarian Church of Providence and to see if membership is for you.
Please join us for our next Path to Membership class on March 1. This session will be led by the Rev. James Ford, our Director of Religious Education, Cathy Seggel; and Jennifer Nardone, our Membership Coordinator. You are encouraged to bring your questions -- and your appetite, as the Deacons will provide light supper fare to enjoy during the class.
Register by Friday, February 24. You can fill out a registration form (available on the Membership bulletin board in the Parish House, at the Welcome tables, and in the Newcomers’ Café), call the church office (401.421.7970), or by email Jennifer (mem@firstunitarianprov.org).
