Beyond Our Walls:
Denominational Connections
It’s easy to forget in such a large congregation that we’re part of something much bigger. The work of Unitarian Universalists in our community, district, and denomination is almost as lively! Connecting in at these levels offers a wide range of worship, education, social, and activism experiences to deepen and broaden the spiritual journey. The Denominational Affairs Committee works with the ministers and denominational committees to encourage our members to get involved on a grander scale. Opportunities for involvement, leadership and support abound! You’ll meet new people, with those who share your interests and passions, and help shape the world for the better.
