First U is proud to be a teaching congregation. Through our Schug Memorial Internship program, we help shape the next generation of Unitarian Universalist Members—and, in turn, we are shaped by them. On this Sunday, we formally welcome and commission our intern, Monica Kling-Garcia, who will serve our congregation for the next two church years. We will

pledge our support and learning to her, and she will pledge her service and learning to us as we begin our journey together.
