We want to acknowledge the beautiful venue of Grosse Pointe Unitarian Church where the series is taking place. In doing so, we'd like to share a message from them:

Grosse Pointe Unitarian Church is an oasis of religious freedom, spiritual exploration and social justice serving the Grosse Pointes and our surrounding East side communities.

Love is the doctrine of our church and we affirm and promote the 7 doctrines of Unitarian Universalist Congregations, beginning with our first doctrine, The inherent worth and dignity of every person.

We are a welcoming congregation who love and care for our members. Come join us.
