The Welcoming Ministry is organizing BBUUC’s participation in the 2014 River City Pride festival. Plans include marchers and cheering sections for the October 4 parade and a festive booth for the October 5 festival.
The BBUUC booth will emphasize the long-time support of the Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA) for marriage equality. BBUUC  looks forward to official legal recognition of same-sex marriages in Florida in the near future.
Volunteers at the BBUUC booth will be able to provide information about resources available through the congregation for people interested in scheduling commitment ceremonies or weddings.
Plans for the display area also include an emphasis on the church’s history of welcoming members of the LGBTQ community into the congregation.
The Welcoming Ministry is recruiting volunteers to assist with several aspects of BBUUC’s plans for the festival. For more information, please contactlgbtq_welcoming@bbuuc.org.
