St. John United Church of Christ An Open and Affirming (ONA), Racial Justice United Church of Christ congregation in Freeport, IL The community at St.

John UCC seeks to be the progressive, engaged, and extravagantly welcoming church that God is calling us to be in Freeport and beyond. We pray and work hard to be:
-- a thoughtful place where all that we do is done to build up God's Realm of peace with justice, as we follow in Christ's way.
-- a sacred place where God's Spirit is encountered, where we experience the sacred moments in the middle of the everyday making everything sacred.
-- a faith community where, in the midst of a messy and chaotic world, we gather to inspire an alternative way of living, based on faith and trust, love and peace.
-- a compassionate community where we continue to learn to love and be compassionate and gracious towards all humans, all living beings, and the whole universe.

Today is National Pronouns Day!
We echo GLAAD's message by being an Open and Affirming (ONA) Congregation, celebrating every person's sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression, as a unique expression of God's light and love.

International Pronouns Day is celebrated on the third Wednesday of October each year and seeks to make asking, sharing, and respecting personal pronouns commonplace.
