“Whoever welcomes you, welcomes me
and whoever welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me”
Matthew 10:40
First Congregational Church of Wilmot, United Church of Christ, is an Open and Affirming congregation, embracing diversity and affirming the dignity and worth of every person, for we are all created in God’s image. We welcome into full membership and participation in the Body of Christ persons of every race, ethnic background, age, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, physical or mental ability, socio-economic background, marital status, and faith tradition. We welcome all to share in the life, ministry, and activities of this family of faith.”
Also, here is our RACIAL JUSTICE COVENANT, adopted Dec. 5, 2021
"…and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?" (Micah 6:8)
All humankind is created in God’s image, and each of us is a beloved child of God. The presence of inequality and racism embedded in our systems harms God’s creation. As followers of Jesus, we are called to confront and heal the racial injustices that separate humanity from God’s will and God’s kindom. We, the First Congregational Church of Wilmot, UCC commit to: walking humbly in a continuous journey of learning about past and present racism and inequality; challenging race-based injustice to change cycles of oppression; becoming allies with Black, Indigenous and all People of Color; and reaching out to collaborate with local and distant community partners. We covenant to allow our deep sorrow about the evil of racism to sustain our passion to work toward justice and equality for all God’s people. Our worship services take place on N’dakinna, the traditional ancestral homeland of the Abenaki, Penacook and Wabanaki Peoples past and present. We acknowledge and honor with gratitude the land and waterways and the people who have stewarded N’dakinna throughout the generations.”
