Black Lives Matter

We voted as a congregation to display a Black Lives Matter in front of our church in solidarity and support of our members, friends, and neighbors of color. As a majority white congregation, we know we have work to do, not just to become more inclusive, but to push back against racism and do our part to dismantle racist institutions. Our faith calls us to let ourselves be changed for the better by what we learn about ourselves, and to continually move forward towards love and justice for all people.
