On Monday, March 8th, people around the world will be celebrating International Women's Day This is about celebrating the accomplishments, leadership, and power of women in our lives and in society, and is a continued call for action - across the globe - to support and protect the rights of all women. We believe women's rights are human rights.
Let us all wear purple this Sunday to our service: we will view a sea of different hues during the coffee hour, and that will be a visual vote of affirmation of our commitment to women's rights - in our families, in our church, in our communities, in our country, and across the globe.

CONGRATULATIONS TO PAT FRANCEK:
OUR LEADING LIGHT AWARD RECIPIENT FOR MARCH
|
|
Please join the Leadership Development Team in congratulating Pat Francek, recipient of the March Leading Light award! Pat’s service to our community is far reaching. Among the many significant gifts of her time and talent are her service on the Racial Justice Council. Pat also serves as co-chair of TUCWomen, chairs the TUCWomen BLM group and leads the BLM book discussion group. Pat has devoted countless hours of time in service as a leader of the Grief Group and as a Pastoral Care Chaplain, providing so many of our members – as well as the broader community – with a place to find support, hope and healing. For all of her involvement in and commitment to TUCW, Pat truly is a Leading Light.
