Put it on your calendars! June 11th during the Pride Morning
Worship at Old South Church in Boston, the prestigious "Open Door Award" will be presented to Senator Elizabeth
Warren and Pastor Judy Hanlon, Hadwen Park Congregational Church.
Many of you are familiar with the LGBT Asylum Support Task Force
founded by Pastor Judy in 2008 to provide vital housing, food, legal support
and other services to our persecuted brothers and sisters who have fled to the
US from 16 countries where they are subjected to prison, torture and even
death. As many asylum seekers arrive with nothing but the clothes on
their backs and most aren't allowed to work during the legal process, the
support Pastor Judy has garnered for them is life saving.
First Unitarian has held a 50-50 offering and individual
congregants regularly support this mission. Please join in celebrating
this well deserved honor to Pastor Judy who courageously emulates Jesus,
"a social justice warrior". Round trip bus transportation will be
available from Hadwen Park church for only $20. Please contact Gini
Johnson for further information: ginijo@aol.com.
