We Are The Ones We’ve Been Waiting For

In-Person + Online: 10:30am MST
Zoom: 890 3393 2625

Led by: Rev. Christine Dance
Worship Associate: Bill Snowden

Because of our values, especially how we embrace our LGBTQ+ siblings as fully whole and holy, we have caught the attention of some right-wing harassers, doing their damage mostly online. Rev. Christine will bring you up to speed on what is happening, how we’re responding, the context of this new world we’re in and why WE are perfectly positioned to creatively respond to commit ourselves to the world we want and know can exist. 

For audio only, phone 346-248-7799 and enter the meeting ID: 890 3393 2625
