FROM PASTOR JAY
Sunday is our annual Open and Affirming - PRIDE Sunday in support of LGBTQ+ individuals and families. The recorded worship services on the last Sunday of June each year provide a resource to share with those seeking an alternative to the conservative view. A few years ago, I received a call from a woman from Virginia who was in Prescott to visit her father. She came to the office for a visit. She shared that her lesbian daughter was getting married in New York, and some of the family members refused to come to the ceremony. This upset her, and she wanted to understand how our church was so accepting of LGBTQ+ persons. I was able to give her some resources and direct her to our recordings of past end of June services that include looking at the related Bible passages and some powerful testimonies. This Sunday we will consider Bible interpretation and how it influences our beliefs. Sarah will give her testimony. The Sanctuary Choir provides music, and JJ, Ziggy, and Sherbert show how they are unique and accepted creations of God.
First Congregational Church of Prescott, United Church of Christ, is an Open and Affirming congregation. We include all persons without regard to age, race, gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity, gender identity, faith, marital status, or personal ability. We welcome all to share the celebrations and challenges of our congregation. No matter who you are or where you are on life's journey, you are welcome here.
