Our third annual Ripley Presents Pride Exhibit, Family Diversity Projects’ BUILDING BRIDGES: Portraits of Immigrants and Refugees highlights the lived experience of migrating to and living in the United States and includes the stories of folks at the intersection of immigration and LGBTQIA+ identity. This exhibit celebrates both Pride Month and Immigrant Heritage Month in the United States through stunning photography and moving first-person testimonies.

Visit the exhibit in First Congregational Church’s Ripley Chapel (21 Church St in Winchester) between Sunday, May 31 and Sunday, June 14. Weekday visiting hours are 9 AM – 3 PM, with extended hours on Thursday, June 11 for PRIDEFest. Sunday hours are 9 AM – 12 PM.

Disclaimer: Some of the testimonies presented in BUILDING BRIDGES may be age-inappropriate or confusing for some children. We recommend that parents/families of children under the age of twelve accompany their children at the exhibit.

We are the First Congregational Church in Winchester - A Christ-centered nurturing community, growing in faith, serving in love, welcoming all with joy.

For decades, we have celebrated our LGBTQIA+ siblings and their inclusion in all parts of our worship and congregational life. In 2001, we became Open & Affirming through the UCC, meaning we are liturgically and theologically committed to a public covenant of welcome.
