Merry Christmas from the Congregational Church in Exeter. #myexeter

Every Christmas we provide groceries for holiday meals and toys to families in need. Yesterday was the big distribution day at the church. #myexeter #exeternh

First snow. #exeternh #myexeter #historicnewengland

Our temporary rainbow flag is up at the church while we wait for our permanent plaques to be done. Everyone is welcome in #myexeter #lgbtq #exeternh

The annual Live Nativity, this year with a photobomb by the donkey. #exeternh #myexeter

Every year folks bring in hats, gloves, scarves and other warm items and trim our tree with them. Before Christmas we take all of them down and donate them to a local shelter so that someone’s holidays can be just a little warmer. #myexeter #exeternh

The gingerbread houses at the Chamber fundraiser this year were great. We were glad to host once again. #exeternh #myexeter

The building is decked out for Christmas. #exeternh #myexeter

Fall from the front doors.

The 500th anniversary of the #protestantreformation is this Sunday. Our fiber artist, Kathy James, created this great antependium to celebrate. #reformation #Reformation500 #95Theses #MartinLuther

One of our favorite traditions at the church. Kids carve pumpkins and we set them on the front steps. Come visit us during trick-or-treating! #exeternh

This Sunday we’re opening our new resource room in the church offices. Come and check out some great new titles for kids. #exeternh

Since 1996 we have been an Open and Affirming congregation. This means that we actively welcome LGBTQ people, and their families and friends.

That's why in June we put up a rainbow flag in front of the church. We wanted to celebrate Pride month and remember the 49 people who died in Orlando last June. We also wanted our neighbors to know that no matter who they are, or who they love, they are welcome here.

Unfortunately, that flag went missing. We'd like to hope there's an innocent explanation. Maybe it came loose and someone took it down to keep it safe, for instance. After a week of investigation, though, we haven't had any answers.

It might be that someone drove by, saw the flag in front of a church, and was angered enough by it to take it down. We certainly hope that was not true, but we know it has happened in other places nearby. If that's the case, to that person we say,

Happy #Pride month! You are always welcome at the Congregational Church in Exeter. #ucc #lgbtq #exeternh #portsmouthpride

Our elementary kids made friendship necklaces in church school last Sunday. They're learning the story of Ruth and what it means to care about one another. #ucc #exeternh

Today our Mission and Action committee sold saplings during coffee hour. The trees are great for the #environment and the proceeds will go to benefit our sister church in Zimbabwe. #ucc #exeternh

Happy spring! #exeternh

#Easter egg hunt after worship. #exeternh
