FUSF first obtained Welcoming Congregation Team status from the Unitarian Universalist Association in 1993. Each year our team makes sure our congregation meets the UUA Welcoming requirements and creates a safe and loving space for LGBTQIA+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, questioning, intersex, asexual, plus other designations) people. These requirements include: annual recognition and celebration of the Welcoming Days of Observance, incorporating two Welcoming Worship Services into our calendar of worship every year, having two dedicated “plate giveaways” to a local LGBTQIA+ non-profit, and sponsoring or hosting a yearly seminar for our congregation and community.

Welcoming Congregation Team: Sara Allegretti—chair, Pam Bellino-Rivera, Marggi Shechanah, Michael Byrne, Connie Dunn, and Sandy Fellows.

The team meets on the 4th Wednesday of each month via. Zoom. If you would like to join the team or have questions, please email Sara Allegretti at srayworth@gmail.com.
