Welcome Home

September 2024

As we embark on a new congregational year, we are focused on creating spaces of belonging, celebrating the warmth of our shared faith, and welcoming newcomers into our community with open hearts.

Question
In what ways can we, as a community, ensure that our welcome extends beyond mere inclusion to actively dismantling the barriers that prevent true belonging for all, including those who have historically been marginalized or excluded?

Celebrating Diversity
30 Days of Celebrating Youth: Explorers & Innovators (https://bridgesuu.org/30-days-of-celebrating-youth-explorers-innovators)

We hope that these daily stories will inspire you to engage more deeply with the youth in your community, to listen to their stories, and to amplify their efforts. Let us celebrate not just their achievements, but also the rich diversity they bring to our shared human experience.
