🗓️ Join us Wednesday, June 17th, 6:00-7:00 pm ET, for an online ecumenical worship service in observance of World Refugee Day.

🧡 With the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program frozen since January 2025 and resettled refugees facing an onslaught of diminishing protections and expanding threats, it is more important than ever to gather in lament, solidarity, and celebration of the right to seek refuge.

🧡 With contributions from the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), Church of the Brethren, Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), Pacifica Synod ELCA, and the United Church of Christ, we will worship through prayer, art, music, and reflections from pastors with their own stories of migration.

❤️ "No matter who you are or where you are on life's journey, you are welcome here."
❤️ We are only a week into Pride Month and already we have experienced a significant uptick in hateful comments. This month (and beyond) is about celebrating God's love and inclusion in all of its forms.
❤️ So, we feel called to remind our communities of our commitment to keep our spaces safe, loving and respectful, not just during Pride month, but always.

Pastor Jesse tells a medieval Hasidic tale:
The journey into new lands of service and dialogue is often the experience that guides us back to the hidden spiritual treasure already waiting within our own hearts.
