"When Kids Come Out" - A Four-Session Class
for Parents of LGBT Children
When a child comes out to his/her/their family, it often raises many questions for both the child and for the family. For example:
- What does it mean for the family when a child comes out to his/her/their parents?
- What does it mean for the parents' relationship to their church?
- What does it mean for the parents' own faith?
- How do parents navigate their own "coming out" after their children have come out to them?
These questions are among those that will be addressed in the four-session class that will be held on Wednesday evenings from April 6 through April 27 at the Hilliard United Methodist Church. The meetings will begin at 7:00 pm and conclude by 8:30 pm. The church is located at 5445 Scioto Darby Road, Hilliard. Parking is available at the church. Look for signs directing you to "Kids Coming Out" class at the church in the Sanctuary Building.
More information and bulletin insert can be found here.
