On Saturday, October 10, the TriUU Welcoming Congregation Team hosted our second annual Pride Celebration. To build on the success of last year’s celebration, we invited our friends from UUCLC to join us.

Members of both congregations gathered at TriUU from 10 a.m. to noon to celebrate National Coming Out Day, with light snacks, conversation and community — and, as promised, glitter blessings from Rev. Kristina.

Here are some moments from the morning.
