"Crossing the New Bridge"
Rev. Kimberley Debus

The inevitability of change doesn't mean we don't still struggle with it. How do we face new changes in ways that honor our past, acknowledge our stories, and energize us for the future?

We are excited to welcome the Rev. Kimberley Debus as our interim minister! Rev. Kimberley Debus is a minister based in the Washington DC Metro area, inspiring an artful and art-filled faith. She consults with congregations and religious professionals throughout the denomination. In addition to her consulting ministry, she also serves the Cedarhurst UUs in the greater Baltimore area, and writes about congregational life, worship, and other shenanigans on her weekly newsletter, Hold My Chalice.

Rev. Kimberley was raised by Unitarian parents and returned Unitarian Universalism in the 1990s during her years as an activist in North Carolina’s LGBTQ community. Rev. Kimberley has been known to burst out in song and will wax poetic about British panel shows, mysteries, trivia, and The West Wing. A native New Yorker, she makes her home in Takoma Park, MD, with her three tabby cats.

A new season of connection, care, joy, and rest for trans, non-binary, Two-Spirit, gender-expansive, intersex, gender-blessed, and gender non-conforming people—and those who love them.

The Woodlands returns September 6! 🌳

This monthly online spiritual community is beginning a new season of connection, care, joy, and rest for trans, non-binary, Two-Spirit, gender-expansive, intersex, gender-blessed, and gender non-conforming people—and those who love them.

And this year, The Woodlands is growing. We’re excited to introduce Sweetgums, a new dedicated space for the partners and spouses of trans people, alongside small community groups for trans youth and adults, parents, caregivers, and families.

Rooted in Unitarian Universalist values, The Woodlands offers a space where trans lives are not up for debate or explanation, but are honored as sacred, whole, and worthy of care.

Monthly gatherings resume September 6 at 5 p.m. Eastern / 2 p.m. Pacific.
