A Reconciling in Christ Congregation
News!!!
On May 22, 2011 Pastor Patt and Deacon Bill traveled to Washington DC with the Human Rights Campaign for "Clergy Call." We joined nearly three hundred clergy and other church leaders to lobby Congress for a repeal of the "Defense of Marriage Act", and for legislation relating to bullying and work place discrimination. We lobbied our senators' and congress peoples' offices.
