Making A Difference: Social Justice
in our Congregation
We offer friends and members the chance to get involved in our community
and to put their spiritual beliefs in action. To this end, we encourage
congregants to find their passion and to act on it! Below is a listing
of our many congregational social justice projects. For more information
on each project, please click on the link!
In 2004, the congregation was named as a Unitarian Universalist Service
Committee's Vision of Justice Banner Society,
which honors congregations in which 50-90 percent of the membership are
UUSC members. The UUSC support social justice projects around the U.S.
and the world.
