REMEMBRANCE OBSERVANCES
Transgender Day of Remembrance is held annually to remember those who lost their lives in the past year due to intolerance, to ensure that on at least one day of the year, the world is not allowed to ignore violence against transgender people. The Welcoming Congregation Committee of First Parish UU Church in Chelmsford would like to let you know that there are three opportunities to bear witness and support the Transgender Community in this area.
1. Lowell will be holding their second annual Transgender Day of Remembrance Observance on Thursday, November 15, 6:30pm – 9:00pm. The observance is being organized by the Center for Hope and Healing, which serves the BGLT community out of the Rape Crisis Center of Greater Lowell. The Observance will start at the Kerouac Commemorative in Lowell (located in Kerouac Park in downtown Lowell on Bridge Street) and proceed down East Merrimack Street ending at Christ Church United (180 East Merrimack Street, near Saints Memorial) where there will be speakers, a reception, and open discussion.
2. The Welcoming Congregation Committee of First Parish UU Church will hold their annual vigil at First Parish in the chapel on Friday, November 16, at 7:00 pm. We will light candles in memory of each person. The church is located at 2 Westford Street on the Chelmsford Common. The chapel is located in the end of the building next to the church's parking lot.
