Social Action Committee: Rainbow Flags Dedicated

On Sunday, September 15th, the Social Action Committee dedicated rainbow flags at the Green Street entrance. These flags now serve as a public message to the casual passerby that the church is welcoming and open to lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender persons.  

September Shared Offering: Uniting Pride (UP) Center

The UP (Uniting Pride) Center of Champaign County is a multi-service agency, for youth and adults, with a purpose to support and promote human care, education, and community-building activities directed at furthering the well-being and development of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, questioning, and ally community of Champaign County.
By donating to the UP Center, you help guarantee continued programming for you and adult members of the LGBTQA community. Donations also help with administrative costs such as rent, insurance, and supplies. 
THANK YOU!
