Who We Are
At Euclid, you are encouraged to get involved by volunteering with our Green Action Team, participating in social justice work, striving for full GLBTQI+ inclusion in our communities, lending your voice to the choir, joining a book club or a small group, or playing on the softball team.
We are African, Asian, Hispanic, Latino, and Anglo-American! We are female, male, and transgender. We are young and old, partnered and single, gay and straight! Join us on Sunday mornings at 10:30 am for a celebration of radical diversity through music, reflections on scripture, and weekly communion.
