In the next couple of weeks, Pastor Paul will be holding discussions regarding the on-going conversation around proposed changes to our United Methodist Book of Discipline regarding human sexuality and LGBTQ+ inclusion in the life of the church, and the schism that is currently transpiring within the denomination regarding these proposed changes. In preparation for holy conversations to occur in the final weeks of January, we are offering you multiple resources to view and read (links below), and then ask that you sign up for one of holy conversations. The conversations are designed to last for no more than an hour and will primarily be listening sessions in which you ask questions regarding what you have viewed and read and provide feedback as to how you wish for our church to proceed.
