On October 19, 1959, Unitarians in the Coachella Valley gathered for the first time at the Palm Springs Chamber of Commerce office. Since then, this community has grown and thrived, through struggle and wandering in the desert, through ministers coming and going, through dreaming and hard work. And here we are, 65 years later, stronger than ever! Join us on this joyful day as we celebrate our history and our coming back together at the beginning of this church year and as we look together toward the future. And after the service, there will be birthday cake!!!
