UU Value of Justice: What We Choose to Center

July 28, 2024

Lay Leader: Louise Marcoux

The UU value of Justice challenges Unitarian Universalists “to work to be diverse multicultural Beloved Communities where all thrive”.  What practices can help us cultivate a community in which all belong?   Please join Louise Marcoux, a Lay leader at FUSF, to reflect on what our stories place at the center – and what they marginalize – and explore how we each might become more open to narratives different from our own.  

The First Universalist Society in Franklin is a Unitarian Universalist Welcoming Congregation located at 262 Chestnut Street, Franklin MA. For further information about FUSF please explore our website at fusf.org or contact our Interim Minister, the Reverend Beverly Waring at 508- 528- 5348 or minister@fusf.org.
