Why We Must Keep Telling the Truth

Holy Covenant,

This Sunday we will joyfully celebrate 25 years of being an Open and Affirming (ONA) congregation, a milestone of faithful witness, courageous love, and deep commitment to justice. I hope you will join us for this special worship service, which will feature surprises, video presentations, special music, and the chance to see some cherished friends and familiar faces. Please plan to arrive a little early, as we’ll be starting worship slightly ahead of our usual time and keep your eyes open as you enter the campus for something new and exciting. Following worship, I invite you to stay for our anniversary reception as we continue the celebration together.

Because we are a church that serves and affirms a community that is…

Peace and Blessings,

Rev. Christopher Czarnecki

Senior Pastor, Holy Covenant UCC
