Martin Luther King Peace March

1/18/2023

Several of us from UUFCM, along with a CMU graduate student from India, marched in the Martin Luther King Peace March on Monday, January 16, carrying our UUFCM banner. After the wet (!) march, we walked to the Fellowship Hall for hot chocolate and a time of reflection. See the Minister’s Column for Rev. Drew’s reflection on the march.

Come March with the UUFCM!
