The holidays can be a difficult time, especially for children living in the aftermath of criminal child abuse. Each year, Dallas Children’s Advocacy Center (DCAC) brings a smile to thousands of our client’s faces when we provide them with gifts and toys through our annual Holiday of Hope program.
This year, we’re asking the kids of First Unitarian Church of Dallas to help their peers by contributing a fuzzy blanket for Dallas Children’s Advocacy’s Center’s Holiday of Hope toy drive.

About The River of Goodness
Every day, posits Marquis, every single human has to make a choice: accept the world the way it is or work to make it better. Each of us can pursue the work of goodness in many ways. The River of Goodness, the second volume in Marquis’s River Trilogy, provides real-world examples of people who have taken on the work of goodness, whether through thankless tasks or in dangerous and challenging circumstances.
This follow-up to Marquis’s beloved first volume, The River Always Wins, argues that making the world better is rooted in the hard daily work of creating change that lasts.
About David Marquis
David Marquis is a long-time committed activist for environmental and social change in the Dallas area. He is the author of I Am A Teacher (Simon & Schuster), which became a series of widely performed plays. He founded the Oak Cliff Nature Preserve in Dallas and has consulted with the Texas Conservation Alliance since 2011. The first book in this series, The River Always Wins, was published by Deep Vellum in 2020.

Join the First Unitarian Church of Dallas Library Committee in the Tom and Charley Crow Library for a special author talk series featuring members of our congregation. Our own writers will share their books, discuss the ideas that shaped them, and offer insight into their creative journeys.
Our first author in this series is Rosalyn Story, author of Sing Her Name. Light refreshments will be served.
About Rosalyn Story
Rosalyn Story, author of Sing Her Name, is a professional classical violinist, journalist, and author of both fiction and non-fiction. She plays violin in the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra in Fort Worth, TX, and divides her time between performing and writing about the visual and performing arts.
Sing Her Name, a novel based loosely on the life of the 19th century black diva Sissieretta Jones, is Story’s fourth book. Her articles have appeared in numerous magazines including Essence, Stagebill (the magazine of Lincoln Center), The Crisis (the magazine of the NAACP) and Opera News. Her first book, And So I Sing: African American Divas of Opera and Concert, the first comprehensive book on the history of black women in opera, was the inspiration for the PBS documentary Aida’s Brothers and Sisters: Black Voices in Opera. Her first novel, More Than You Know, was published in 2004. Her novel Wading Home, set in post-Katrina New Orleans, was an Essence magazine book club pick and “recommended read,” and was also a 2011 nominee for the Hurston Wright Foundation Legacy Award. In 2012, Wading Home was chosen by Clemson University (Clemson, SC) as the “common read” book and was distributed to 3,500 freshmen and new students. In August 2012, she presented Wading Home before an assembly of all freshmen and new students at Littlejohn Coliseum on the campus.
In 2012, Story was inducted into the Texas Literary Hall of Fame by the Friends of the Fort Worth Public Library in Fort Worth, TX. In 2014, she received a $40,000 MPower artists’ grant from the Sphinx Organization based in Detroit, MI to produce Wading Home: An Opera of New Orleans, based on her novel. With a cast, orchestra, and chorus of internationally-recognized artists, it was performed in Dallas and New Orleans, and in Port Elizabeth, Stellenbosch, and Pretoria, South Africa.

2025-07-05 17:30 - 19:00 | First Unitarian Church of Dallas, 4015 Normandy Ave., Dallas, TX, 75205, United States
First Unitarian Church of Dallas is proud to present the next offering in our Worth and Dignity Engagements (WADE) series on Saturday, July 5, 2025, at 5:30 PM, featuring acclaimed blues musician Zac Harmon.
CLICK TO REGISTER IN REALM.
The evening promises a soul-stirring blend of music and narrative. Harmon will perform selections from his extensive catalog and share stories rooted in his Mississippi upbringing and lifelong immersion in the blues.
Zac Harmon is a Grammy-nominated, award-winning guitarist, singer, and songwriter, hailed as one of the foremost contemporary torchbearers of the blues tradition. Born in Jackson, Mississippi, home to legends like Elmore James, Harmon’s roots run deep.
Blues Revue called Harmon “a masterful musician and performer of the blues.” Blues journalist Don Wilcock referred to his “Bobby Blue Bland uptown sophistication with a touch of Freddie King guitar.”
And JazzReview said, “With his big blues sound from Mississippi, Harmon can go toe to toe with some of the best blues men in the business. Please don’t be shy, go ahead and mention Harmon’s name in the same sentence with Bobby “Blue” Bland, Albert King and Bobby Rush—just to name a few.”
Zac Harmon tours both nationally and internationally as an ambassador of this great American music art form called the Blues. His live shows are a non-stop low down throwdown as he brings audiences to their feet with his irresistible passion and enthusiasm.
This WADE evening offers a unique chance to connect with the living legacy of blues music and to reflect on how music tells stories of dignity, struggle, and resilience.
Worth and Dignity Engagements (WADE) at First Unitarian Church of Dallas are special evenings of artistic and spiritual depth, designed to elevate voices, share wisdom, and open pathways for deeper understanding of the human experience.
