We are a welcoming, open and affirming churchVisit us 10:30am Sundays at 621 NE 76th (1 block North of Glisan). Read more about us. ![]() Pentecost and Happy 10th!The festival of Pentecost, celebrated this Sunday by Christians around the world, marks the birth of the Church — a wonderful serendipity since this Sunday also marks the 10th anniversary of the founding of Bridgeport – and the 9th anniversary of becoming a full-time UCC church! Honestly, when Demitasse (our church council) couldn’t decide which year (this or next) to celebrate as our 10th anniversary, we thought, why do we have to choose? So this Sunday (May 11), we’re going to kick off a party that will last all year. Yea! So come to church, wear fiery colors and stay for birthday cake! Then after church we’re heading over to Wilshire Park, NE 33rd and Skidmore for a picnic potluck extravaganza from noon-5. Rain or shine, there will be fun for everyone – games, softball, washers & and other fun stuff. Bring your friends & family for this great Mother’s Day / Birthday party – every mother and every mother’s child is welcome! We’ve reserved the covered picnic area in the middle of the park. We’ll provide a barbecue to grill on, paper goods and some sodas. You get to bring something to grill and/or something to share, any games you might want to play – and this is important – CHAIRS to sit on. (Strange but true…) maybe even a table?
