We have a spent a fabulous January together getting to know each other. We all look forward to continued relationship building through activities over the next exciting months of coming together!
Join us on Sunday February 12 at 12 pm. as we welcome guest speaker Diana Farrar, author of ”Door of the Heart” and long time advocate for equity. Diana and her wife, Charlotte, from Dallas Texas, are coming to speak about the importance of community and why we must never become complacent with our advocacy work for those who are marginalized. As an Affirming church, Leaside United is committed to offering ongoing educational opportunities that support the rights of LGBTQ+ and all other marginalized peoples. Please join us for this free event.
Excerpt From Emily’s Weekday Wondering January 11, 2017
“The final gift was to all of us – a set of beautifully hand-painted question boxes as a part of the Affirming process. These are now around the church (by the office, in the sanctuary, near the Hearth Room), along with paper and pencils. They are an opportunity to ask the questions you might have related to LGBTQ+ topics. As an Affirming Congregation, Leaside has committed to an ongoing journey of learning and welcome. Presteign-Woodbine has not yet taken part in an affirming process, so this is an opportunity for all of us to ask questions and learn new things safely. Any time, please write down a question, whatever it might be. Some examples we heard on Sunday include:
We will have the opportunity to read answers to these, and any of your questions in future bulletin”
