Executive Session Board Report

On 08/19/2025, the Board appointed a special task force to review policy around those who are survivors of domestic abuse. At a special Board meeting on 01/06/2026, the Safe Here Task Force reported back to the board with; a letter, a statement of conscience, a proposed Abuse Response Policy, appendices, and a proposed charge if the Board determined to create the suggested Survivor Care Collaborative. The Board reviewed the documents over the next two months, consulting with the UUA and an attorney. In an Executive Session at the Board’s meeting on 03/17/2026, the Board voted unanimously to move forward in the following ways to address concerns of survivors and those who are close to survivors, security, and covenantal living:

“The Neurodiverse Universe”

In the beauty and complexity of this world, no two brains are alike. The Neurodiversity alliance estimates that 15 to 20% of the population is neurodiverse whether they have ADHD, are Autistic, are Dyslexic, or some other unique way of looking at the world. This Sunday Rev. Tiffany explores the Neurodiverse Universe that we live in, and takes a look at how our community is stronger and better because of the neurodiversity within our congregation.
