Christ Congregational United Church of Christ invites you to an interfaith community gathering grounded in prayer, justice, and the radical welcome at the heart of the United Church of Christ. Open to all, this event reflects our shared call to embody God’s expansive love and to bear faithful witness in a world where dignity is too often denied.
Together, we will create space for reflection, honest conversation, and communal discernment as we listen for how the Spirit is moving among us. At Christ Congregational UCC, we believe that taking the risk to be you and living authentically is an act of faith. When we show up fully, we participate in God’s ongoing work of liberation and healing, both within ourselves and in the wider community.
As part of this witness, we lift up the ongoing prayer vigils at the Everglades Detention Center, also known as Alligator Alcatraz, held every Sunday at 4:00 pm. These vigils stand as a public expression of our commitment to immigrant justice and human rights. We encourage participation when possible, and for those unable to attend, an invitation to pause wherever you are at 4:00 pm and join in prayer for freedom, safety, and restoration.
All are welcome at Christ Congregational United Church of Christ, exactly as you are. Bring your questions, your convictions, your grief, and your hope. Rooted in faith and strengthened by community, we gather to make love visible and to continue the work of justice together.
