“All Kinds of Awesome” Picnic

This is a space of joy, connection, and belonging for people of every identity and orientation.

We’ll have music, lawn games, and plenty of room to just be yourself. Got a favorite game? Bring it along and join the fun!  All ages of humans and well-behaved dogs are welcome. Please leave alcoholic beverages at home.

Transforming Small Group Book Study – Round 2

The Transforming book study led by Drew Harenberg earlier this year was well received, and they have offered to lead a second round!

A six-week small group book study of Austen Hartke’s fantastic book Transforming: The Bible & The Lives of Transgender Christians will meet on Monday evenings (May 5 through June 16, skipping Memorial Day on May 26) from 6:30 to 8:00pm at Drew’s home.

There is no cost, but each participant should have a copy of the book. To sign up, contact Drew or the church office.

Note: this small group study is specifically designed for growth and exploration by folks of all gender identities. You do not need to be transgender, nonbinary, or otherwise gender-expansive to participate!
