More than 20 members of our community took part in the PrideDay Parade and festival in Philadelphia on Sunday, June 13.
Participation in the event was coordinated by the Welcoming Congregation Task Force, a working group of TPUUF’s Social Action Committee. The event itself is run by Philly Pride Presents, Inc.
Thomas Paine is a Welcoming Congregation, open to gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people.
The Sunday service on Valentine’s Day was about love, but it celebrated the kind that isn’t usually mentioned on Hallmark cards and romantic notes between partners.
Instead, the Rev. Bryant B. Brown spoke about Standing on the Side of Love, the Unitarian Universalist Association’s initiative to bring love into the conversation every day.

At least 20 members and friends of Thomas Paine Unitarian Universalist Fellowship took part in the Martin Luther King Day celebration and day of service hosted by the Unitarian Society of Germantown.
More than a dozen took part in a refurbishing of the Boys and Girls Club on W. Penn Street in Germantown. In all, more than 30 people helped to clear a beautiful stage of mounds of clutter (including 41 computer monitors), to paint the auditorium, the office of club director Clarence Miller and the railing that climbed three floors in the lobby, and to organize a resource room that was cluttered with archival photos, educational material, and odds-and-ends.
The 20 volunteers from Thomas Paine is an unofficial record, and the USG event was the largest in their 10 years of coordinating the MLK Day of Service.
