Sunday, November 20, 5:30 pm, 618 Locust
November 20th is Transgender Day of Remembrance, a time set aside in memory of those who have died as a result of violence against transgender individuals and a time for communities to express solidarity and hope for a better future for gender diverse people everywhere. This Sunday, The Gathering will come together to participate in this world-wide observance with a time of prayer and reflection and a reading of the names of those who were lost over the last year.
The recipient for our offering will be TransYouth Family Allies, an organization devoted to empowering 'children and families by partnering with educators, service providers and communities, to develop supportive environments in which gender may be expressed and respected.'
We will also collect pancake mix and syrup for Christmas food boxes. Following worship, we will share our community potluck meal.
