Sunday, June 14 at 10:30 a.m.
Ladera Community Church invites our neighbors, friends, and extended community to a special Friends & Family Coffee Hour on Sunday, following our special Pride‑themed worship service at 9:30 a.m. As we celebrate Ladera’s LGBTQ+ Pride weekend, we’re opening our doors wide for a morning of connection, welcome, and joyful community.
Our Pride Sunday service will lift up diversity, the power of belonging, and the importance of every person’s story.
Immediately afterward, at 10:30 a.m., we’ll gather on the patio for coffee, treats, and conversation. Whether you’re a longtime member, a returning friend, or someone meeting us for the first time, this is a wonderful time to experience our congregation’s warm welcome. Bring your friends, bring your family, bring your whole self. All are welcome — always.

We’re assembling a team of 6-10 people to prepare and serve lunch at the new center, which boasts a full commercial kitchen. We’ll meet at the Navigation Center at 11:30 a.m. You will find this hands-on activity rewarding! Please RSVP to amy@ladera.org to join us.
