Happy Pride Month! 🏳️‍🌈

This June, we celebrate the beauty, dignity, and worth of our LGBTQ+ siblings and neighbors.

At First Congregational Church of Vernon, we believe that every person is created in the image of God and beloved exactly as they are. Whoever you are, and wherever you are on life's journey, you are welcome here.

As we celebrate Pride Month, we recommit ourselves to creating a community where love is lived boldly, justice is pursued faithfully, and all people are embraced with the extravagant welcome of Christ.

Happy Pride Month from FCCV! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

Love is more than a feeling.
It is the daily work of showing patience, compassion, forgiveness, and care for one another.

In anxious and divided times, love becomes holy resistance against fear, cruelty, and isolation.

“Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony.” -Colossians 3:14

May we bear Christ into the world by loving well: neighbors and strangers, communities and ourselves.

Tomorrow (Friday)! Meet us for lunch, the theme is "soup swap"- bring a soup, or if you don't have the time, buttered rolls would also do. Please e-mail Sarah at [email protected] to RSVP.

After tomorrow, we switch to a lunch/dinner/lunch/dinner pattern for the summer. That means each month, we will gather once for lunch, and once for dinner. The first dinner gathering theme is "Campout Cuisine", and we will gather 5-6pm on June 12th, in the playground area.
