Every Thursday, all year long, members prepare and deliver hundreds of food and personal items by bike and car to people on the streets in metro Des Moines. They might be living under a bridge, in a tent next to the river or railroad tracks, in a hole dug in the side of a hill, or in temporary housing. Most importantly, the UBFM builds personal relationships with those who are overlooked and marginalized.  Support the show [https://pushpay.com/g/firstunitarianchurchdesmoines?src=hpp]

Meredith Garmon's last words in the pulpit at First Unitarian Church of Des Moines.   Transition: it's not the same as change. Change is always happening. But sometimes we change (externally, superficially) in order to not change (truly grow) – we make changes so we can avoid changing. To transition, rather than merely change, is to bring a bit of intentionality to the process.  Support the show [https://pushpay.com/g/firstunitarianchurchdesmoines?src=hpp]
