PARENTS OF TRANSGENDER CHILDREN SHARE THEIR STORIES The Inclusion Committee at Snoqualmie United Methodist Church is hosting an online panel, featuring parents of transgender children sharing their experience. Join us on Thursday, January 27, at 7 p.m. as we listen to and learn from retired pastor Al Gephart and recently retired nurse, Betsy Gephart, in Tempe, AZ, and former pastor and active author, Mike Rumley-Wells, and his wife Kim, a fifth-grade teacher, in Wenatchee, WA. Everyone is welcome to join this Zoom event. A recording will be made and available after the event. For more information, contact Carol Morrison at emilooh@comcast.net.
We celebrate God’s gift of diversity and value the wholeness made possible in community equally shared and shepherded by all. We welcome and affirm people of every gender identity, gender expression, and sexual orientation, who are also of every age, race, ethnicity, physical and mental ability, level of education, and family structure, and of every economic, immigration, marital, and social status, and so much more. We acknowledge that we live in a world of profound social, economic, and political inequities. As followers of Jesus, we commit ourselves to the pursuit of justice and pledge to stand in solidarity with all who are marginalized and oppressed.
