At UUCP we do our best to address all sorts of needs in our community. However, the needs and stories we know, we only know because those people have the ability to make their needs known. They are seen. To be radically welcoming and fulfill our church’s purpose, however, we must also learn to see and serve the invisible members of our community. How can we learn to hear the voices of the voiceless? Let’s explore together!
