Crossing Borders: Sunday Worship Led by the People of Color Community Circle
Members of the People of Color (POC) Circle and Community at First Universalist have planned and will be presenting the Sunday Service on November 8.
We are a radically inclusive group of Unitarian Universalists that identify as People of Color. We understand People of Color to include many racial and ethnic identities. We welcome people of all sexual orientations and genders.
The service will address the borders that we face in a white UU space, and our work with Marie Michael, a colleague of Heather Hackman, who has presented and facilitated Learning Sessions for the POC Circle since last year.
