Happy Pride from UbarU 🌈

At UBarU Camp & Retreat Center, we believe every person deserves to be fully seen, fully celebrated, and fully themselves not just this but all year. Pride is a reminder that visibility matters, that joy is resistance, and community is sacred.

Our wonderful groundskeeper Donnie caught a glimpse of a pig on the property! He was able to take this video.

UUs are very good at holding complexity.

We can affirm many ways to move through the world, connect to the sacred, or sing a beloved hymn… and still hold firm to the precise dishwasher loading diagram everyone should follow when using the congregation’s kitchen. 😄

That’s the beauty of our shared UU community life: we may not have perfect agreement, but we can be our best imperfect selves practicing how to live together with care, intention, and respect for one another.
