read more… I want to thank this fellowship for helping me to transform myself. You have given me ample opportunities to develop leadership skills, become an active participant to fight for social justice, and to put my money where my mouth is.
read more… “The less I seek my source for some definitive the closer I am to fine, yeah, the closer I am to fine.”
read more… Why do I support this church? Put simply, because it is tremendously important to me…to my emotional and spiritual health…to my life. I want, no, need this congregation to continue and to be healthy.

UU says generally that most any belief is acceptable and no one is going to exert any pressure to change you to their viewpoint. read more… I know that I can be my most authentic self and still be accepted and appreciated. I want people in our community to have a place where they can feel safe and accepted as well. That is why I give.
