SUNDAY SERVICE
Onsite & Online ~ 10 am
Bethany Simonsen & Nancy Perez
Queer History: Past and Present
To kick off LGBTQ+ history month, we’ll talk about some champions of queer rights – some you’ve probably heard of, and others you may not be as familiar with. The fight for LGBTQ+ rights is far from over, but neither is it hopeless. Come and be inspired by courageous people from the past and the present who knew that their efforts, no matter how big or how small, mattered.
