🌿 Honoring Indigenous Peoples’ Day at Hope UCC 🌿

Join us this Sunday, October 11, as we honor Indigenous Peoples’ Day and reflect on the rich heritage and sacred stories of Indigenous peoples in North America and around the world.

How do Jesus’ parables intersect with the sacred stories of our Indigenous friends and neighbors? How might these stories deepen our reverence for the sacred spaces we share?

🌳 Weather permitting, we’ll worship outdoors on our sacred ground at Hope UCC. If the weather requires us to move inside, we’ll gather in the social hall.

Everyone is welcome in our community. Together, we'll improve our knowledge, honor Indigenous heritage, and deepen our understanding of the sacred. We hope you’ll join us tomorrow on the grounds of Hope UCC!
