In recognition of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender , and Queer (LGBTQ) Pride Month
June 11, 2023 ~ 10:30 a.m.
We welcome back Rev. David Horst of Norwich, Conn., who leads us in worship .
Why has the transgender community become targets of so much prejudice and hate in some communities around the country? How does this moment inform us about the rise of authoritarianism and Christian nationalism in our nation? Rev. Horst also teaches and leads us in singing “Never Turning Back” by Pat Humphries.
We welcome all visitors, friends old and new, to the Unitarian Church in Fall River. We do not have a doctrine to which all adhere, nor is it finite. We can and should be learning, changing, and exploring. Life teaches, or presents us, with opportunities and challenges to which we must respond. We need to develop inner strength or personal philosophies to help us live these moments to the fullest of our capabilities. Through a sense of spirit or a spiritual life, we can expand and enhance our time of being. One way to do this is to learn from the wisdom of those who have gone before us – the resources of the ages. Another way is to share our experiences and revelations with our fellow seekers.
Please remember that your help in keeping current with your pledge or any donations is more than appreciated. Thanks for your help. . It will certainly help us to continue with our mission. .
