POCATELLO — The Pocatello Unitarian Universalist Fellowship will have a worship service Sunday at 4 p.m. at the church building at 309 N. Garfield Ave. All are welcome.

In a time when bigotry disguises itself as religious freedom, the Pocatello Unitarian Universalist Fellowship believes it is important to reaffirm its commitment to welcoming all people, regardless of identity or sexual orientation. The guest speaker will be Kevin Lish, co-founder and current board chair of All Under One Roof, a local advocacy group providing free HIV testing, support and resources for people who identify as LGBTQAI+.

Our theme this Sunday is “Liberty and Justice for All,” and the Lish will talk about the legal code regarding HIV and discrimination by HIV Status in Idaho and the nation. Pastor Jenny Peek will also report briefly on feedback gathered at the PUUF booth at Pocatello’s Pride Festival earlier this summer. Visitors to the booth were invited to write down ideas about how religious organizations can work together more effectively with the LBGT community.

Lish grew up in Pocatello, moving from Newport News, Virginia, just in time to begin the first grade. He graduated with high honors from Pocatello High School in 1980. He went to Gonzaga University for two years and returned home to graduate from Idaho State University with a Bachelor of Science degree in marketing. He has been with the Mutual of Omaha company for nearly 30 years, qualifying for nearly all sales awards and serving from 1992 through 1997 as the district sales manager for Idaho for Mutual of Omaha.

Plan to stick around after the service for light refreshments and conversation. For more information, go to www.pocatellouu.org.
