The UUA has informed us that we have successfully renewed our Welcoming Congregation status. This is the result of many hours of work on the part of Kevin Corcoran, who led the effort, along with Rev. Megan Visser, and with additional help from Chris Hankla. The work involved not only applying, but also coordinating and implementing a program of activities. We extend our thanks to them all!

The Director of the UUA’s LGBTQ and Multicultural Program, the Rev. Michael J. Crumpler, wrote:
