This Sunday, Guest Speaker Ric Hauck will help us explore a faith journey that weaves together identity, acceptance, and radical love. A Trans-Lutheran JoUUrney: Meeting Jesus in the LGBTQIA+ Alphabet invites us to consider what it means to encounter the sacred through the diverse stories of LGBTQIA+ lives.
Together, we’ll reflect on how Unitarian Universalism and Lutheran traditions intersect to create a path of belonging, justice, and spiritual wholeness.
