Time for First U to Sign Up for a CLOUT Listening Session
Autumn marks many beginnings - like school and our church year - and it's also the beginning of the CLOUT (Citizens of Louisville Organized and United Together) annual justice cycle, where we listen to learn which problems weigh on you and your loved ones.
First U is offering three opportunities to participate in this important stage in working with 26 other metro area faith communities to build Beloved Community through holding leaders accountable. Each session will run about 75 minutes. If you are interested in participating, check your Midweek UUpdate or contact the office!
