Your church isn’t ready to become Open & Affirming? What better time to build community and increase your gifts of hospitality! Your church already welcomes LGBTQ people and doesn't need to do more? There's always more welcome to offer! Everybody in your congregation already knows that LGBTQ people are welcome? Now it’s time to expand the welcome mat from just outside your door into your community. The process becomes a community-building experience by expanding congregational welcome and guiding our journeys to vital ministries of grace. This workshop will be led by The Georgia Open & Affirming Ministry Team including Rev. Dr. Diane Bales, Rev. Dr. James Brewer-Calvert, Rev. David Kenley, Rev. Melissa Guthrie Loy, Jim and Amanda Skinner, and Rev. Byron Wells. Learn more about this workshop, which is part of Upgrade Thursdays, and get ZOOM link here.
