One Woman Show Performance

Saturday, May 4th at 7 PM
Advance Tickets required

Join us as we host actor/playwright/educator, Sandra Laub, in her solo play, “Picking Up Stones: An American Jew Wakes to a Nightmare,” a one-woman show in multiple voices that grapples with the moral question of how to reconcile support for Israel while disagreeing with the government’s extreme right-wing, increasingly oppressive policies. Facilitated conversation will follow. Tickets will be limited and need to be purchased in advance through this link: https://first-parish-unitarian-universal.betterworld.org/events/picking-up-stones-by-sandra-laub.

Location: First Parish Unitarian Universalist (FPUU), 1508 Washington Street; Saturday, May 4th, 7pm.

Here is more information on Sandra Laub and her play, its prior versions and performances and reviews. This performance also will be a fundraiser for the First Parish Unitarian Universalist-Canton. See Don S. or Rev. Michelle for more information. Here is the link to purchase your advance tickets.

April Faith in Action:
Canton High School Fine Arts Scholarship

The Faith in Action offering this month will fund a one-time scholarship for a Canton High school senior who is planning to major in music or theater in college this coming fall. There is no better way to live our values than to help a local teen continue their education in a field that we know is vitally important to all our children yet so often in times of crisis or economic hardship becomes expendable in the minds of those with control over budgets and spending. It is no secret that the pandemic has made learning hard for our children and teens. And no educational experiences have suffered more than those that include performance and the fine arts. For more information contact Jim Chubet, FPUU Music Director.

Please make checks or PayPal contributions payable to FPUU Canton and tell us in the memo line or note that your contribution is for Faith In Action (FIA).

Please give as generously as you are able. Thank you!

Louis D. Brown Peace Institute’s Annual Mother’s Day Walk for Peace (MDW4P)

FPUU is proud to be part of the Louis D. Brown Peace Institute’s Annual Mother’s Day Walk for Peace (MDW4P) on Sunday, May 12, 2024 at 8:00 AM in Dorchester, MA. FPUU joins our other Five Cluster congregations as a participating team in the walk. John D. will be serving as Team Captain.

This year’s MDW4P theme is “Cultivating Cycles of Peace.” In our society, we are constantly looped into cycles of violence that overshadow the transformative power of peace. Like a blooming flower, cycles of peace flourish when carefully cultivated. We have the agency to cultivate these cycles by empowering survivors, supporting returning citizens and their families, and investing in Generation Peace.

We invite you to walk with the Five Points Cluster team! If you would like to walk on this day, registration is $25.00 per person. That registration fee is a donation that goes toward our team goal. This is the link for our Five Points Cluster Team donations: https://www.mothersdaywalk4peace.org/Team/View/187181/Five-Points-Cluster-UU. If you want to cheer from the sidelines (literal or virtual), you may also donate to the team as the team walks on our collective behalf.

For more information about the Louis D. Brown Peace Institute overall, see this link: https://ldbpeaceinstitute.org. For more information about the Mother’s Day Walk for Peace, you can visit:
