New Group for Caregivers of LGBTQIA+ Young People

Parents and guardians of LGBTQIA+ young people, please join us in gathering on the Second Sunday of every month at 11:30am for mutual support and celebration of our kids. Our November meeting will take place on November 10. 

Mitten Tree

It is almost time for our annual Mitten Tree program, which benefits families of the Interfaith Aids Ministry of Greater Danbury (IAM). Here is how it works: a little later in November (possible date November 10th), the children and youth ministry team will invite you to take home a paper “mitten” from our mitten tree. Each mitten has a gift request. After purchasing the gift, you will bring the gift back to the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Danbury. In early December, we will take all the gifts over to IAM. 

Holiday Tree

Want to pick out this year’s holiday tree for the Fellowship Hall? Funds provided! You just pick it out and bring it in. Don’t want to do it alone? Get friends from the congregation to join you. Contact Sierra-Marie at dre@uudanbury.org.
