But Thomas (who was called the Twin[a]), one of the twelve, was not with them when Jesus came. 25 So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord.” But he said to them, “Unless I see the mark of the nails in his hands and put my finger in the mark of the nails and my hand in his side, I will not believe.” 26 A week later his disciples were again in the house, and Thomas was with them. Although the doors were shut, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.” 27 Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here and see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it in my side. Do not doubt but believe.” 28 Thomas answered him, “My Lord and my God!” 29 Jesus said to him, “Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have come to believe.”

Is anyone else still dreaming of that southern corn pudding from last week's potluck, or is that just us?

The Gospel

According to Flamy Grant

Something holy happens when Flamy Grant takes the stage.

With a voice shaped by the church and a story shaped by survival, Flamy sings songs that tell the truth, the hard truth, the funny truth, and the liberating truth. Raised in Christian music and now performing in drag, Flamy brings together faith, queerness, grief, joy, and hope in ways that are both disarming and deeply familiar.


This is not just a concert. It is an evening of music and storytelling that makes room for people who were told there was no room for them.


Presented by Free Mom Hugs and St. Luke Lutheran Church, The Gospel According to Flamy invites you to come exactly as you are and experience a night rooted in honesty, courage, and joy.
