Please bring items to swap AND any donations you may have for our neighbors on the street (they especially need jeans, caps, and shoes). Feel good, look good, do good. Questions?

Reconciling Ministries Network Sunday
Feb

Reconciling Ministries Network Sunday

In February 2011 at a called church conference, University UMC voted overwhelmingly to affiliate with Reconciling Ministries Network. On Sunday, February 9 we remember this important vote at UUMC.

Planned and led by our Queer Council, join us in worship as we rejoice in the progress our queer and trans community has made, and recommit to the work that remains before us. Local Austin drag queen Aria Rey (UUMC choral scholar alumni- Hunter Sabin) will join our pop-up Queer Quire in leading music this week. She will also read “My Shadow is Purple”  for our children’s message. We invite everyone to join in the celebration by wearing rainbow or colorful clothing!
