Social Justice
Our Fellowship strives to be an integral part of our wider community and to promote and support social justice issues. Our commitment to social justice takes shape in many ways, in gestures large and small. We always welcome ideas about how we can be an affirming presence and instrument of positive change locally, state-wide, nationally, and globally.
A Great Opportunity Is Available To Support Our LGBTQ+ Youth In Our Community
The training is provided by OutMaine. Several Social Justice Committee members are already signed up to attend. Financial aid is available if you’d like to attend. Visit OutMaine for more information.
