Welcome

A time to gather to Stand on the Side of Love! Music, dancing, conversation, door prizes, light refreshments…. All are welcome! All couples are invited to participate in a commitment ceremony conducted by Rev. Fred Howard, as we recognize the recent progress made in the freedom of all couples in loving relationships to marry. Co-sponsored by South Georgia Pride – join us!

Living the Welcoming Congregation

The next sessions of the Living the Welcoming Congregation curriculum will generally meet on the Sundays Rev. Howard is in the pulpit in the “second hour” – after the service and following a brief meet-n-greet. Next session, February 15th!

“Living the Welcoming Congregation” is a voluntary program for congregations to deepen their commitment to inclusive practices, ensuring that all people are welcomed through our doors. The first five sessions involve Assessment, Discernment, and Analysis – in other words: discovering what we know, discovering what we do not know, and exploring what we will do to expand our outreach in the community. Please join us! For questions, send an e-mail to uuvaldosta@yahoo.com

Beyond Safe Schools – Valdosta

Georgia Equality provided training on keeping all young people safe in our community on October 26 and 27. The workshop included information on prevention of bullying, preventing self-harm and suicide, and local resources for the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community. This event was sponsored, in part, by the Accepting Difference Project Fund of the Unitarian Universalist Church of Valdosta. Our thanks to Christ the King Episcopal Church for hosting one of the training sessions and subsequent meetings! If you are interested in being involved with these efforts, please contact us at uuvaldosta@yahoo.com!
