On Nov. 19 at 10 a.m., this special service will welcome guest speakers from Speak Out Boston who will share stories from their personal life experiences. The congregation will have the opportunity to ask any questions they may have about the speaker’s personal experiences or questions related to LGBTQAI+ identities in general. All questions are welcomed. We will commemorate Trans Day of Remembrance, which honors the memory of the transgender people whose lives were lost in acts of anti-transgender violence. Rev. Deborah Bennett will lead the service.

First Parish in Wayland (225 Boston Post Rd.), a Unitarian Universalist community, extends a warm invitation to everyone interested in joining our services. Our vibrant, multigenerational community offers a sanctuary for diverse beliefs and passions. We joyfully offer our hearts and hands to build a more just, compassionate, and sustainable world.
