As you may know, for the last few months, we've been discerning what it means for us to be a welcoming and inclusive congregation, especially as it concerns people who are LGBTQ+. Several weeks ago, we had a fruitful q&a session after worship. Before we make any kind of decision, we're going to spend the next few weeks studying some of the relevant biblical passages and theological issues surrounding LGBTQ+ inclusion. For 6 Sundays beginning Oct. 6, instead of our regular Sunday School classes, the whole church is invited to take part in a video study produced by Rev. Rob Fuquay called "Faithful & Inclusive". We'll be meeting at 9 am before worship for viewing and discussion, either in the parlor or the fellowship hall (depending on attendance). You aren't required to purchase any materials.

As we move forward in discernment, I hope to see you all on Sunday mornings.

God's peace!
