UUConnect JulyJuly 2021, Volume 7: UUConnect Monthly

In this edition of the UUConnectMonthly newsletter, several members of UUCM share their “elevator speech,” recently crafted during a 3 part virtual class led by Rev. Lisa Friedman.  These statements, brief enough to be shared on an elevator ride, and meant as a community faith expression (rather than a personal statement) bravely answer, “What do you believe?”

Grateful to connect with you,
