First UU Principle:
We affirm the the inherent worth and dignity of every person.
 
In the summer of 2008 we decided to embark on the journey of becoming a Welcoming Congregation.  Using a curriculum provided by the UUA as a starting point, we are exploring our personal attitudes and observing our congregational habits, with the goal of ensuring that the Fellowship will be a welcoming home for all individuals, regardless of their sexual and affectional orientation or their gender identification.
 
We are finding this process to be a lively and thought-provoking experience. Our Welcoming Congregation Committee meets regularly for conversation and planning. The committee has sponsored a series of film nights, panels on sexual orientation and on transgender issues, and other programs for Sunday morning services. Its members are continuing to look for ways in which we might engage the congregation and connect with the larger community.
 
We are also active in supporting equal rights for all people, with a focus on members of the LGBT community who do not yet fully enjoy the rights of heterosexuals under the law. We are committed to marriage equality and to the passage of ENDA, the federal Employment Non-Discrimination Act.
 
If you would like to join us in our efforts to become a truly welcoming congregation, please let us know. We welcome anyone who shares our goal.
 
We invite you to come stand on the side of love with us!
