Love Wins! Spring 2026 Activities
Why Love Wins!
We rejoice in hard-won progress—the Presbyterian Church (USA)'s policies on ordination and same-sex marriage, along with civil marriage equality—and we stay wide awake to the rising threats to LGBTQIA+ people and their families from Christian nationalism and white supremacy. In these challenging times, we stand alongside all who face discrimination simply for being who they are. Come join us—and help us declare that Love Wins!Read more

Remember to Wear Red
Pentecost Sunday, May 24
We wear red on Pentecost Sunday to symbolize the “tongues of fire” associated with the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the apostles, as described in Acts 2:1-4. It represents the fire of the Holy Spirit, the church’s birthday, and the passionate love of God, serving as a visual reminder of the spirit’s presence.Read more
