We would love to see you this Saturday at Hampshire PRIDE in Northampton! First Church Amherst will be marching in celebration of YOU--and of our 39 years (yes, 39 years!) of being an Open and Affirming Church. We'll meet up at the Sheldon Firld parking lot, March/parade to the Festival area near the parking garage, and then spend hours offering Blessings to Go and giving away cool swag at our outreach table. See you there! (Here are a few photos from previous Pride celebrations; we’ve been participating every year since 2008, at least.)
