You're invited to join Watertown area congregations for a time of community, conversation, and Christian welcome where we can build a more inclusive community — together!

We'll gather for our second event on Sunday, November 5 from 12:30pm-2:30pm in the Community Room at the Watertown Public Library. A lunch will be provided.

We will be joined by David Liners, a Watertown native and Executive Director of WISDOM.
