Vespers is an intimate, contemplative, and conversational half hour service which takes place on First Wednesday evenings from 6:00 to 6:30pm. Often but not always led by our Ministerial Intern, we welcome you and appreciate you just as you are and whenever you can join us.

 

Soulful suppers

Soulful suppers are offered each month by a group from the congregation (Board; Pastoral Care; Jewish Lives of UU; Kitcheneers; ...) and the meals feature nourishment suitable for all: V, GF, DF, NF mains, sides, breads, and desserts; they also feature conversation and fellowship.  The First UU RVA Kitcheneers crew cooks and/or coordinates the food. Interested in joining the kitchen crew? Email kitcheneers@richmonduu.org.

 

Music holds a special place in worship at First UU.

Music is an integral and vibrant part of worship at First UU.  It draws from a diverse range of musical traditions: folk, gospel, classical, world, country, and jazz, with the aim of complimenting and deepening the worship experience. Music is provided by the UU Singers, NU Beginnings Gospel choir, vocal and instrumental solos and ensembles from our members and friends, as well as local and traveling musicians.

UU Singers:

• The mixed voice choir, UU Singers, rehearses weekly from 7:30-9:00 p.m. in the Great Hall. It also sings for both Sunday services once or twice a month. No audition is required, but the ability to sing harmony (SATB) and read music is a plus. Our repertoire is varied and includes contemporary, classical, folk, and world music as well as traditional and modern UU hymns and choral pieces. New members may join anytime during the year.
  
• Additional participants and ideas for inspirational music are always welcome and invited.  For more information, please contact Music & Worship Director Jamie Kilpatrick, congregation@richmonduu.org
