Interweave is a UUA affiliate organization for bisexual, gay, lesbian and transgender (BGLT) concerns guided by UU principles. All are welcome.

Sunday, January 25
11:00 a.m. worship: Rev. Relland preaching "Revising the script of your life." With three weeks under our belts, we lift up our faces with the knowledge of a renewed life this new year. What promises do we make ourselves year after year and how do we make our New Year's resolutions work for us?
Young Adults: January will be our chance to go to lunch, just the young adults. I tried to choose some inexpensive places that are good and sort of within walking distance… We’ll go after the service each Sunday in January, so pick one (or all) and join in!
