Love Beyond Belief January 28, 2024, at 10:00 a.m.Onlineand in-person Rev. Dr. Matthew Johnson
Unitarianism and Universalism have held, for hundreds of years, that what we believe matters much less than how we love and live.

We will Share the Plate with Get Connected 815 Our mission is to help (High-Risk) Re-entry individuals impacted by incarceration ENTER into the community successfully and self-sustainably. Here at Get Connected, we respond to various needs within the High-Risk Re-entry population. Risks are assessed utilizing a Risk, Needs, & Responsivity Assessment Model. The latter model is utilized in evidence based practices and programming. Reducing Violence & creating awareness of resources to eliminate real-life barriers due to former incarceration is an important Get Connected Vision. Click Here to Donate
