During the month of June LGBTQ+ Pride is celebrated around the globe. This Sunday, Rev. Leia explores why celebrating Pride is still important and why being a Welcoming Congregation matters. Come celebrate the blessings of being in a community that rejoices in the diversity of humanity.  Everyone is invited to wear rainbow colors to church. The fun will continue with a Pride Party during social hour!

Supervised play on the church playground is offered from 11AM-12PM during community worship.
