Peace Promise addresses the complexities of sex trafficking in the Harrisburg region by offering outreach and intervention, support and training, education and awareness, and economic empowerment for those who have experienced the weight of sexual exploitation. They partner with survivors in their healing process to provide for practical needs like housing and employment while also addressing emotional support and life skills training to equip survivors to thrive in their journey to freedom. Nominated by UCH member David Powell.

This year's Pride Festival in Harrisburg will be held Saturday, July 26, 2025, and we need YOU. If you haven't been involved in the Pride Festival before, it is an event not to be missed. The Unitarian Church of Harrisburg will have two booths, one for making tie-dyed T-shirts and the other is an information booth co-sponsored with the Pennsylvania Religious Coalition for Reproductive Justice (PRCRJ). It's a fun day to reach out to our community. If you think you might want to volunteer your time or donate supplies, contact Laura Trimble, Sharon Vaughn, Deb Puskar or Susan Stillman for more information. You may also use this sign-up form to indicate what hours you'd like to volunteer at the tie-dye t-shirt booth.

It can be hard to keep up when so many things are in flux. In transitional times, let's help each other understand the way the story of our lives together is changing.
Members and friends can submit joys and/or sorrows to be read (with your permission) during a Sunday service. Submissions sent before Friday at noon will be read that Sunday, all others will be held for the next week.
