...from the Pastor...
There we were, this past Friday evening, (April 24), the LGBT ministry standing together, a family, a community, gathered around the sacrament of Holy Communion. We are gay, straight, seeking belonging, poised to join the church, long time members, one (not pictured) wanting to be baptized. The call of Jesus to love, to love each other, to be for each other what the world will not do, is our call. It is our joyful obligation. Once again, bread was broken, wine was poured, and it was enough. We were(are) a family, a community. We are God's beloved children. We invite you to come and be a part of our family, our community.
