Join our Muslim neighbors who have graciously invited us all to their Community Ramadan Iftar Dinner. Our Confirmands visited the mosque last month and were warmly welcomed.
Iftar is a meal eaten by Muslims after sunset to break their fast during Ramadan. The word “iftar” comes from the Arabic word ʾifṭār which means “the breaking of the fast”. ~Google AI. They request that you RSVP here.
It is with great joy that we open up our Community VBS registration for participants and volunteers. You may find details about this year and sign-up online by the link below. Grab your spot!
Each year on March 31, we honor International Transgender Day of Visibility. There are over 1.6 million trans, non-binary and gender-expansive youth (age 13+) and adults across the United States. Trans parents and family members. Trans coworkers, neighbors, and friends. The transgender community is diverse, representing all racial and ethnic backgrounds as well as all faith traditions. While we have made significant progress in recent years with more visibility than ever before, we are still fighting for acceptance and many basic human rights for the community. Today and every day, we must celebrate all trans and non-binary people everywhere and combat disinformation, discrimination and hate impacting our community.
First Congregational has a long history in supporting Bridge Communities clients as they work to establish independent and stable living arrangements.
