Dear friends in Christ,

We are continuing with our Pride Month sermon series by tackling the story of the

destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah in the book of Genesis. This story has long been

used to justify violence against our gay and lesbian brothers and sisters by equating the

story incorrectly with God’s disapproval of the LGBTQ+ community. There is actually a

lot more to the story than people often know, and we will be unearthing a much more

accurate interpretation that centers around hope, peace, and justice for the oppressed.

The biblical evidence may surprise you.

We will be following our worship with our church BBQ and potluck and we invite and

welcome everyone to join us. The church is providing the hamburgers, hot dogs, and

buns. We invite you to bring a side dish, salad, or dessert to share. Can’t bring a dish?

Come anyway – there will be plenty of food!

Bible Study is postponed temporarily until we resume on Sunday mornings with a new

series in a few weeks. Stay tuned for more info!

We will look forward to seeing you there.

Many blessings,

Pastor Tracy
