SUNDAY WORSHIP

"The Ancestors' Breath"

Rev. Shari Woodbury

November 1, 2026

“The dead have a pact with the living.” ~Birago Diop and Hymn #1001, Breaths

We begin a month themed on Covenant, by honoring the ties that bind across generations. You are invited to bring a small memento or small photo connected to an ancestor who has been meaningful to you. (Feel free to interpret "ancestor" literally or loosely; in family, spiritual, or cultural terms.) The Sanctuary Singers offer a gift of music.

For most services, you can attend in Person or via YouTube. Brunch church Sundays are in person only.

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.
