Family Stories for Peace UCC | Neither

 

This week we're continuing to celebrate PRIDE Month with a book called "Neither."  This story helps us understand that none of us need to confine ourselves to boxes society wants to put us into.  Our lives are best lived when we have freedom to express ourselves and our identities in ways that are most authentic to us.

This is a story for Children and Families for PRIDE Month! Today we're reading "Neither." Please consider purchasing the book from today's video by using the link below to buy it new or used from independent booksellers:

Family Stories for Peace UCC | Intersection Allies

 

It's PRIDE week in Santa Cruz, so this week we're sharing a story that is about TRUST and PRIDE!

Our story this week is called "Intersection Allies."  It's about a group of friends who are all very different, but who all trust each other and support each other.  The recurring mantra of the book is:  "Where there is room for one, there is room for all!  Friends can be allies, no matter how small!"  

This PRIDE month, let's remember to love and support all of our sacred differences.  We are made to be unique expressions of God's love and God indeed loves us in our uniqueness.  

We hope you enjoy this story and a bit of an early jump on PRIDE Month.
