You’re invited to join us in a short prayer for peace. ☮️

As you recite these words written by St. Francis of Assisi, you’re invited to reflect on your own life. Think of how you can make a positive difference in a world so overcome with injustice, despair, doubt, and hatred. Ask God to grant you the courage to become a blessing of love and peace to someone who is struggling this week. 💜

Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace;
where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
and where there is sadness, joy. Amen.
-St. Francis of Assisi

It is exhausting trying to shrink or shape-shift to meet everyone else’s expectations.

Take a deep breath and let that burden go.

You are fully seen, fully known, and deeply valued by the One who matters most.

Voting is advocacy in action! 🗳️

As midterm elections draw near in the United States, it’s important that allies & members of the q***r community have a plan for voting. Elections have significant implications for human rights, so it's important to let your voice be heard!

Prepare yourself, your friends, or even your congregation by downloading the Human Rights Campaign’s Civic Engagement Guide for LGBTQ+ Communities. This non-partisan guide provides education on the voting process, understanding your rights, and even provides helpful tips for voting as a trans, gender nonbinary, or gender nonconforming person.

Our hearts are deeply saddened by the news of the senseless violence in Tucson last night. We believe that every individual is a beloved child of God who deserves to find safety, joy, and belonging in their community, free from fear.

We mourn with those who mourn, and we earnestly call for an end to the hatred and violence that so deeply divides us. Now, more than ever, we must commit to building bridges of understanding and fostering spaces rooted in love, grace, and compassion. 🕊️🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Police in Arizona are investigating a shooting at a Tucson gay bar as a possible hate crime. The Tucson Police Department says Vincent Anthony Siqueiros and Cameron Davis Capara were shot in the parking lot of Venture-N shortly after midnight on Monday.

Some of the holiest relationships we have aren't the ones we were born into, they're the ones we chose, or that chose us.

Grateful for the people who show up!
