The Seneca Falls Convention, held July 19 and 20, 1848, was the first women’s rights convention. Judy Barnett will talk about what happened, the convention’s unique connection to Unitarians and how the fight for women’s rights continues.

Services begin at 11 a.m., but join us a little early for coffee and conversation. Our very nondenominational services include music, readings, meditation and a talk. We’re friendly, informal, progressive and done by noon. Visitors and guests are always welcome.

Judy Barnett is Georgia born and raised. She attended nursing and anesthesia school at Georgia Baptist Hospital in Atlanta, and she graduated from Columbus State University.
