FIRST CONGO CELEBRATES PRIDE!

As many of you know, there will be no service at First Congo this Sunday, June 26, as the congregation will be supporting our Board moderator Rev. Roland Stringfellow, one of this year's SF Pride Grand Marshals, by marching with him in the San Francisco Pride Parade.

Here are a few logistical changes...

-Our assembly time has been moved back a little to 10:30 AM (at the latest), but still feel free to get there sooner.

-We now know that the order for our various contingents is: Rev. Roland (92); the CWC (93, which includes all the congregations joining us); OASIS (94); Lutherans Concerned (95); Bay Area UUs (95); and the main Sha'ar Zahav group (96).

 -We are still looking for 5 more contingent monitors-please, please let us know if you can volunteer! The last two training sessions are tomorrow and Friday in San Francisco from 7:00 PM to 8:00 PM. The first one is at the SF LGBTQ Community Center, 1800 Market Street and the second one (Friday) is at Bill Graham, Larkin Hall, 99 Grove Street, SF. Contact: admin@firstoakland.org or call 510-444-1190, ext. 19.



For Congregants who are not marching in the Pride Parade, there are several welcoming congregations in the East Bay to visit this coming Sunday.
Rev. Lois Mueller of nearby Plymouth United Church of Christ on Monte Vista Ave at Oakland Ave (directions) has invited everyone from FCCO who isn't marching in the Pride Parade to attend their Sunday 11 a.m. Service.
