Susan Westenbarger, UUFA Leader speaks to Nelsonville pride participants

UUFA turns out to support Nelsonville Pride and SEORA

Many thanks to Carolyn Sweeny, Jessie & Roberta Roberson , Barb Harrison & most of all Susan Westenbarger for attending the Nelsonville Pride Saturday, September 30th. The event was organized by SEORA and we were thrilled to be able to support our partner organization in this event.  Susan spoke on behalf of the UUFA to share our committment to human dignity and the right of personal freedom and faith journey. We were also excited that WOUB Newswatch interviewed Roberta about our presence there.  Roberta did a wonderful job of responding with compassion about UU committment to helping LGBTQA people find community, because their hurt and isolation hurts all of us.  Congratulations SEORA on a wonderful event !

  Spotlight on our UU Central East Region

If you don’t already realize it, the UUFA is a part of a larger UU denomination worldwide.  Our region contact person is Beth Casebolt who assists us with a host of services such as leadership events and region wide connections.  One of our goals from this past year is to connect with other UU congregations in order to draw upon our strengths.  This is one way that we can accomplish this goal.
