Focus #1: Avondale: Our Urban Neighborhood

This focus has grown from our deep continuing commitment to be good neighbors. A few years ago, First Unitarian needed to do some renovation.  Faced  with the choice to rebuild in another location or stay in the city, we made the decision to stay here.  We decided to continue to stand with our neighbors in the struggles and joys that they meet daily in urban America.
