Stitched in Love

Holy Covenant,

Earlier this week, First Congregational United Church of Christ in Madison, Wisconsin, shared a story on their Facebook page that captured something powerful: healing love in the face of hate.

I’m not sure of all the details, but someone had vandalized their Pride flag. It was torn and left for them to find as a symbol of hate and rejection. But instead of simply replacing it with a new one, the congregation chose a different path. They did something that felt a lot like what Jesus would ask us to do.

They stitched the flag back together…
