SUMMARY:Third Sunday After Pentecost: Reconciling Sunday
DESCRIPTION:This Sunday\, we will celebrate the work we’ve done as a Reconciling Congregation and share the important work that lies ahead. From the Big Deal Weekend earlier this year to our new storytelling collective\, The Narrative (which begins on Wednesday\, June 29)\, we are committed to answering our call to be an inclusive church that exemplifies the kingdom of God. We strive to move toward reconciling relationships with all\, affirming those who are marginalized for any reason\, including sexual orientation or gender identity. We welcome all with open hearts\, open minds\, open doors. Join us as we celebrate our Reconciling Work of the Past and our Expanding Work for the future! \nJoin us in person or online for worship on Sundays at 10am. If you’re joining us in person\, please review our updated mask practice.
