January 7, 2024 service for the First Unitarian Church of Salt Lake City. Director of Religious Education Amanda Esko speaks on the importance of the "third place": inclusive spaces separate from home and work where one can relax and be oneself in public, spaces for creative interaction where one can encounter familiar faces and make new acquaintances. Special thanks to Grace Esko and Clara Kratzer for their music in this service, and to Landon Kraczek, Don Walton, and Beck Miller for their spoken contributions.
