Wednesday Evening Bible Study
Bring a brown bag supper and join us as we study and discuss the Bible (at times, the lectionary passages, at other times a particular book of the bible). All are welcome to "just show up" and need not come to every session. There is no need to read anything in advance. People drop in and out as life dictates and the membership keeps changing. Wednesday, August 20, 6:30pm, Pilgrim House.
PFLAG
Please join us Wednesday, August 20, at 7:30pm for our monthly support meeting. All meetings are confidential and all are welcome! PFLAG is the United States' largest organization for parents, families, friends, and straight allies united with people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT).
The mission of PFLAG Triangle is to:
Support Families and Friends – by working to foster loving relationships, by helping them understand and affirm their gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgendered loved ones; Educate Ourselves and the Public – by working with educators, faith groups, businesses, media, and the larger community;
Advocate for Equality – by calling for equal human and civil rights. We strive to create a world where our loved ones are judged on the content of their character, not by their sexual orientation or gender identity. (ONA)
