Starting on January 8th and continuing each month for February, March and April, there will be a discussion group forming for the book “Authentic Selves, Celebrating Trans and Nonbinary People and Their Families.” The group will meet on the second Monday of the month, from 7 – 8 pm via Zoom. All are encouraged to attend. The compelling 35 stories provide a glimpse into the real lives, both the challenges and triumphs, of these remarkable people and their families. Each month we’ll discuss 9 of these stories, so no need to read the entire book before the first meeting. Our church library will have several copies available for loan. Loretta Heimbuch (adminasst@uuithaca.org) and Barb Shew (barbrandy51@gmail.com) will co-lead the discussions. This program is part of FUSIT’s commitment to renewing our status as an LGBTQ+ Welcoming Congregation. Email Loretta for the Zoom link.
