On the 49th Anniversary of creation of Cherokee Park United in early June, several milestones were celebrated. Two members were honored for 50 years of membership. These people joined Cherokee Heights Presbyterian Church the year before that church merged with St. John’s UCC to form Cherokee Park United. Three lovely young women were honored for their recent graduations. Congratulations and blessings on these special people and their achievements!
Cherokee Park United marches in the Ashely Rukes Pride Parade in downtown Minneapolis on Sunday, June 24 at 11 am. We join with other UCC churches to support our LGBTQ+ sisters and brothers. Our inclusive congregation welcomes this opportunity to join in this celebration. Plan to attend some of the other wonderful events of PRIDE weekend. A complete list of activities is available at https://www.tcpride.org/
