Women’s Connections

Women’s Connections provides opportunities for UUFCO women to come together for events and activities. In the context of our spiritual and fellowship journeys, Women’s Connections endeavors to enhance personal growth and build strong inter-connected relationships among women in our Unitarian Universalist community.

Our mission is to create a supportive and inclusive community for women within our Unitarian Universalist Fellowship. We are committed to nurturing each other’s spiritual, emotional, and personal growth, while working together to make a positive impact on the world around us.

Please contact Women’s Connections for more information on any of our monthly gatherings, to offer your ideas and suggestions for future activities, or to be added to the newsletter.
