Sunday, November 2: All Souls – Bring photos or mementos of your deceased loved ones, whether they have died recently or long ago. In this multigenerational service, we will remember and honor them.
Caregivers of LGBTQIA+ Young People
Parents and guardians of LGBTQIA+ young people, please join us in gathering on the Fourth Sunday of each month at 11:30AM for mutual support and celebration of our kids. Our November meeting will take place on November 23rd.
Change to our Mitten Tree Program
It is almost time for our annual Mitten Tree program! This year we are going to participate a little differently than in years past. Instead of giving gifts to the families of the Interfaith AIDS Ministry of Greater Danbury (IAM), we will be fundraising for the Interfaith AIDS Ministry through our November Share the Plate. Please plan to give generously to Share the Plate in November!
Our mitten tree gifts will be for families impacted by ICE detentions and deportations. Here is how it works: on November 16th the mitten tree will be set up in the foyer. Please take home a paper “mitten” from our mitten tree. Each mitten has a gift request. After purchasing the gift and by December 7th, you will bring the gift back to the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Danbury. Then we will bring these gifts to families!
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.
