Part of the Disciples Just Summer series, AllianceQ hosts this Facebook Live event to share info about our ministry and how individuals can join in our work of widening welcome at the table. In preparation for this event, AllianceQ is collecting photos of your tables. Members and friends, email us a picture of your dining table. Clergy, please also send a pic of your congregation’s communion table. All event info here.
“RIOT: Turning Over Tables”
Sunday, June 28, 6 p.m. CST

As we remember together that Pride is rooted in the bold resistance of trans women of color at Stonewall in 1969, we remember that Pride is about resistance. We will name our history by confessing the ways in which Pride has been too often co-opted by white voices, by celebrating leaders like Marsha P. Johnson and centering LGBTQIA+ voices of color, and by considering the ways in which God’s spirit is inviting us to turn over all tables of injustice as we make our way to our seat at Christ’s table. (Free) registration and event info here. Registration will provide you with information on how to join in the virtual worship service and after-party. Flyers for distribution here. Artwork by Nathaniel Cook.

Closet Conversations with Luther Young

Matters of gender and sexuality are a hot topic in today’s society. Although many have strong opinions, there are not enough opportunities to have discussions about gender roles and human sexuality without judgment and condemnation.

The #ClosetConversations series is designed to provide a space for people, regardless of where they stand on these topics, to come together and engage in an open dialogue. The primary goal of this series is not to convert anyone’s perspective, but rather to broaden our awareness and understanding of gender and sexual orientation. In addition, we will discuss how these issues impact the lives of LGBTQ+ people. AllianceQ Executive Director + Minister Melissa Guthrie Loy will contribute to the June 29 conversation.
