Join us on Sunday, June 28, as we celebrate Pride Month with a very special worship service in honor of First Congregational's covenant to be Open and Affirming, first made by a congregational vote in 1994. This worship service includes a courtroom drama called "God Loves All: Case Closed," which contains frank language about the complexities of navigating biblical interpretation on the issue of human sexuality. In this church, we seek the truth with integrity in a spirit of love on our quest for unity and peace. And we seek to manifest the freedom to express our God-given creative gifts when they are under threat. So, we seek not only to be open and affirming, but to celebrate and show God's love for all God's rainbow people....

YOU ARE WELCOME. ALL ARE WELCOME!
