Transgender Day of Visibility

Interfaith Worship Service a FCCGE

March 31st, 7 pm

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.

Please join us Monday, March 31st at 7 pm, for an interfaith celebration of

Transgender Visibility.

Reception to follow and we need folks to bring treats so please sign up below!

Furniture Drive

Many Items Needed!

First Congregational has a long history in supporting Bridge Communities clients as they work to establish independent and stable living arrangements. Part of our commitment is to provide household goods and furnishings. Furniture and lamps are top priority, however, smaller items are welcome. Smaller/carry items can be brought to FCCGE and out on the assigned table in the atrium. Please click the button below to view what is needed.

Please contact Tom Drouin
