“The Future of Nebraska News”
February 9th, 2024 at 10:30 am with Matthew Hansen
Matthew Hansen, co-founder and executive editor of the Flatwater Free Press, will speak about journalism's troubled recent past and the dawn of a new era that's revolutionizing how we get — and how we afford — quality news.
Hansen is a veteran of Nebraska newspapers, including 13 years as a reporter and then metro columnist at the Omaha World-Herald. The Flatwater Free Press, founded in 2021, is Nebraska's first independent statewide nonprofit newsroom, whose motto is, "Important Stories, Well Told."

Youth Group & Children
For the 2024-25 school year, our preschool class (within the infant/toddler/pre-K childcare room) will learn together from the Chalice Children curriculum. Our Elementary Sunday School class (K-5th grade) is exploring LEGO® ValUUes, a LEGO®-Centered & Experiential Curriculum on Unitarian Universalist Values. Our middle/high Sunday school class is starting the academic year, and we are getting to know each other through games, art, and other activities. Later this Fall, they will begin the Unitarian Universalist Coming of Age program; more information will come soon. Contact dre@firstuuomaha.org for more information.
Share the Plate
Each month, First Unitarian shares the loose currency in our offering plates with a selected non-profit. For September, we selected Planned Parenthood, the nation’s leading provider and advocate of high-quality, affordable sexual and reproductive health care for all people, as well as the nation’s largest provider of sex education.

Land Acknowledgment
It is appropriate to acknowledge that the First Unitarian Church of Omaha occupies the traditional treaty lands of the Omaha and Otoe-Missouria Tribal Nations whose sovereignty existed long before the state of Nebraska. We would also like to express our respect to the Ponca Tribe of Nebraska, the Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska, the Santee Sioux Tribe of Nebraska, and over 170 other tribes represented within the Omaha area.
