A Celebration of Pride
Unitarian Universalist Community of the Mountains
June 30, 2024
Lindsay Dunckel and Sophia McKean, Worship Associates
Unitarian Universalism was on the forefront of the gay rights movement among American religious traditions, our early involvement bolstered in part by our emphasis on uplifting the inherent value of individual truths within the context of loving community. This pride month, join us for a tapestry of faith service where we celebrate the LGBT+ community and hear from UUCM members about the ways their faith and identity interweave and inform each other.
