Celebrating a Tradition of Welcome and Inclusion

This congregation – like Unitarian Universalism as a whole – has worked hard to be a place where all people are welcome.  In part, this means that we’ve committed to the idea of knowing each other as unique and worthy beings, and to the idea that we can make spaces in which our differences are valued and celebrated.  This morning, we’ll explore a little bit of how we got here, and a little bit of where we might go from here.  Our annual congregational meeting will begin at 11:30 am, after the service.
