Join Progress Partner, CUCC, for Pride Worship!

We are an Open & Affirming congregation every day of the year, but on the last Sunday of June we get to celebrate the unique contributions that q***r and trans folx bring to our community of faith. This service will be inspired, planned, and led by our LGBTQ+ members.

We'd love for you to join us and bring a friend who needs to be celebrated!
