Picture of congregation in costumes
These words have been attributed to a Unitarian minister named Frances David who lived in Transylvania in the mid 1500s. First Unitarian Church has had a relationship with a Hungarian Unitarian church and village in Firtosmartonos, Romania in Transylvania for almost 20 years. Come and behold the richness of this relationship.

Sunday Sharing to Help Others

Share the Plate: We set aside one-half of the undesignated cash contributions in our Sunday offering plate to support a worthy cause. In November our Share the Plate contributions will go to the Siena/Francis House. In many instances, the Siena/Francis House makes the difference between life and death. They give without question food, shelter and even medical attention to those of us who cannot afford to get it anywhere else. question.

Change for Change: The coins that our members and friends contribute to the Sunday offering plate and at other times is turned over to the children of the church. They determine how to use these funds to help others.
