August 5 STP: Metro DC PFLAG 
 
Sunday's STP offering will benefit Metro DC PFLAG. Metro DC PFLAG strives to promote the equality and wellness of the LGBTQ community and their families and friends through community support, educational opportunities, and advocacy efforts.
 
Metro DC PFLAG sponsors 15 Community Groups across the DC area, including groups for adults, groups for youth, and groups with a transgender focus. Community Groups provide participants with the opportunity to share experiences in regard to sexual orientation and gender expression and how it affects their families.
 
The Arlington PFLAG Community Group, started by Equality UUCA in 2011, meets right here at UUCA on the second Tuesday of each month, except in August when we have a potluck picnic on the same night. Please ask us for details if you are interested in attending. 
 UUCA also helped start ALY: Arlington LGBTQ+Ally Youth, a PFLAG Group for teens ages 13-18, which currently meets at Central United Methodist Church on Fairfax Drive.
 
Like UUCA, Metro DC PFLAG envisions a world where diversity is celebrated and all people are respected, valued, and affirmed inclusive of their sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression.
 
For resources and to learn more, visit pflagdc.org or stop by the table in Fellowship Hall on Sunday.

Donations are accepted for each week's STP recipient through the following Saturday at midnight. Make online donations here.
