Open Hearts Reconciling Community folks and friends: support group for persons of faith who are GLBT and allies! Here is the latest Faith in Action! Great information!
We have changed the date of our April Open Hearts Gathering to April 10 Sunday afternoon - from the old time of April 16 with Palm Sunday the next day and other conflicts that day!
We will now have it on SUNDAY, April 10 rather than Saturday April 16... our topic will be AWAKENING OUR SPIRITS! We will hear about upcoming summer events and projects including Rainbows of HOPE! Tell you more as April 10 approaches!
We will keep telling out stories, giving our gifts and inviting persons to be Reconciling United methodists! (Believe out loud) and take reconciling on the road as we carpool to events!
The Sunday Morning of April 17 will be a Friends for the Journey BOOK SHARE on Earth Day books.. read one of your choice and bring it to share a short reflection on it at 10:45 - 11:30 in Miller hall at Trinity UMC! We hope you can come!
Our next gathering is Feb 20 Sunday afternoon -- for our next Support group Gathering that remains the same!
Come and lend support to Becca and her journey starting the GSA at GISH Grand island!
Come at 2:45 PM to the Gathering place at Trinity UMC, Grand Island, 511 N Elm (the south side entrance with lots of parking lots around the building and street parking on 5th street in front) to give support with Becca telling her story about this journey!
