New Sunday Morning Adult Class Beginning May 1
|
|
One week from Sunday, we will begin a new Sunday morning class in the form of a seven-week book discussion, working our way through "Guiding Families of LGTB+ Loved Ones." This class is especially for Christian leaders, parents, and friends with LGBT+ loved ones. We will meet at 9 a.m. each Sunday. This is intended to be a safe place to discuss and explore how to better love our LGTB+ family and neighbors.
"Guiding Families" is a grace-filled book coming from a traditional biblical interpretation of the topic.
Order the book through the church HERE, or through Posture Shift HERE.
Contact Janine Fleming with any questions.
