Community United Church here in Fresno is a welcoming congregation that opens their doors and hearts to everyone. They recently launched a new makeover of their organizational website and we thought we’d give them a shout out.
The pastor is Rev. Julia Penner-Zook and here is video clip of her talking about finding community at UCC.
They gather for worship at 10:30 AM each Sunday. They are located at 5550 N. Fresno Street, Fresno, CA 93710. Communion is usually observed on the first Sunday of the month.

This fall, Universal Pictures proudly presents the first romantic comedy from a major studio about two gay men maybe, possibly, probably, stumbling towards love. Maybe. They’re both very busy.
From the ferocious comic mind of Billy Eichner (Billy on the Street, 2019’s The Lion King, Difficult People, Impeachment: American Crime Story) and the hitmaking brilliance of filmmakers Nicholas Stoller (the Neighbors films, Forgetting Sarah Marshall) and Judd Apatow (The King of Staten Island, Trainwreck, The Big Sick), comes Bros, a smart, swoony and heartfelt comedy about how hard it is to find another tolerable human being to go through life with.
Starring Billy Eichner, the first openly gay man to co-write and star in his own major studio film—and featuring an entirely LGBTQ+ principal cast, including Luke Macfarlane (Killjoys), Ts Madison (The Ts Madison Experience), Monica Raymund (Chicago Fire), Guillermo Díaz (Scandal), Guy Branum (The Other Two) and Amanda Bearse (Married …with Children)—Bros is directed by Nicholas Stoller from his screenplay with Eichner. The film is produced by Judd Apatow, Stoller and Joshua Church (co-producer Trainwreck, Step Brothers) and is executive produced by Eichner.
My Fresno City College US History teacher did not even attempt to entertain white supremacist excuses and myths when it came to what the Civil War was about. And honestly, it’s just that easy and not even something you have to waste your neurons on. Unless you’re a white supremacist, and those who rely on white supremacist support and ideology to remain relevant (that is, today’s Republicans).
