This is a planning meeting for renewal of East Shore’s Welcoming Congregation status. We have put together a core group; others are welcome to join us. For this 18-month program, we will design a program unique to our congregation that will best help our congregation to engage in the deepest way possible with the question of how to more intentionally welcome individuals, families and communities of all sexual orientations and gender identities. East Shore went through this process in 2000. To honor our original pledge, it is essential that newer members in the congregation understand our congregation’s commitment to this work and learn about the current needs and concerns of LCBTQ+ people.
