January 22 -Torah: In the Tradition and Today - Lori Shaller: The story of the Israelites' exodus from Egypt will be studied this week, and Lori will explore traditional and contemporary interpretations of the story, as well as lead a discussion about how the story shapes our own personal stories.

January 29 -Keeping Hope Alive - Reverend Rachel Tedesco: In his book, A Heretic's Faith, the Rev. Fredric John Muir wrote, For me, hope epitomizes the Unitarian Universalism I have come to know and love. And if I had to use just one word as synonymous with my understanding of who and what we are as a faith community-not just today but for our history-it would be hope. But how does one keep hope alive despite all that's happening in our lives and in the world? What stories move us to hope and courage? Rev. Tedesco is a Community Minister affiliated with First Parish Church UU, in Bridgewater, MA.
