Save the Date: Valentines for GSAs (Gender Sexuality Alliance)
Following service on Sunday, February 9th, we’ll be creating valentines for our local GSA (Gender Sexuality Alliance) clubs to show our support and care. We’ll be gathering in the Emerson Room to do so, which means coffee hour will be located in the lobby. Don’t worry – you can still be in the Emerson Room if you’re not making valentines but we encourage you to do so!

Call for GSA Officers
The time has come to create a safe space for LGBTQIA+ youth by starting a UU Amherst GSA club. Currently, we’re looking for officers. The only criteria is that the youth are in 10th-12th grade or a recent high school graduate. If you or someone you know is interested, please contact Katie Cosgrove at:
dfd@uuamherst.org.

Chalice Chests
As we step into the new year, we’re excited to offer a new way for our families to celebrate and explore the rhythms of the seasons together. On December 22nd, during our winter solstice (Yule) gathering, we distributed Chalice Chests—decorated shoeboxes that will be filled with small treasures and symbols that honor each of the Wheel of the Year holidays. These chests are designed to spark curiosity, deepen understanding, and bring the spirit of each seasonal celebration into your home.
