for Peace on the Mall
in Washington, DC
UCF
is in the process of becoming a Green
Sanctuary,a
congregation that lives out its commitment to the Earth
by creating a sustainable life style for its members
as individuals and as a faith community.
Opportunities
for social outreach continually unfold, giving members and
friends of The Unitarian Coastal Fellowship new ways to
work for change and live their values. It is our intent
to always be ready for spontaneous acts of caring and response
to emerging needs and issues.
