“WELCOME!"
We are so glad you are here!”
As we enter our church, as we live as members, as we experience important life-cycle events (falling in love, marrying, parenting, baptism, coming out, transitioning, etc.), words of welcome and support, understanding and love are what we all long for. This manifestation of God’s Extravagant Welcome and the justice and social witness that accompany it are the heart of what we hope to show our community and all who walk through the doors of Christ Congregational United Church of Christ.
PEACE BE WITH YOU!

Good God,
you always sow
because you harbor hope…
But on more than one occasion
seeds don’t grow,
and get lost among the everyday rubble,
and in history.
It is so,
like the woman in the parable
we implore,
that you do not stop kneading our life,
nor the seeds of peace
that you insist on putting in our life;
Do not let us fall into temptation,
to spoil,
to anchor loss,
and instead welcome us like the good earth,
like the dough that finally ferments,
grows and bears fruit.
Amen.
