Wonderful Wednesdays
 From its initial printing on the Gutenberg press in the 15th Century, the Bible has been the most widely published book in history.
Why is it that we have this one book on our shelves or coffee tables? Almost every person you ask would agree the Bible is an important book.
How often do we actually read the Bible? Do we understand what it means when we read it? How does the Bible apply to our lives? Particularly our gay, lesbian bisexual and trans-gendered Christian lives?
Join us every Wednesday evening at 6:00 pm to read and study the Bible together. Come early for Fellowship Dinner at 5 pm!
Schedule of Studies

Ash Wednesday Service. The engaging video presentation will
resume in March.
Wednesday, February
29th
There will be no mid-week meal or study .
The fourth Wednesday night of each month we are presenting
an engaging video related to issues of concern and interest
within and beyond our community, beginning with films that speak of
the Bible and homosexuality from a variety of perspectives.
The films will be approximately 30 minutes or so leaving lots of
time for lively discussion.
Resuming in March:
The next "Video Discussion" will be held on
Wednesday, March 28th
when we'll be featuring,
The Rhetoric of
Intolerance: An Open Letter Video to Pat Robertson.
Created by Mel White [who as a young man served as the ghost writer
for Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell and other conservative
evangelicals]. Struggling all the while with his own
homosexuality, Mel White came out and has devoted his life to
teaching the truth and calling to accountability those who
propagate lies about
the sexual
minority community. In this video, a devastating collection of
misleading fundamentalist rhetoric is shown, confronted and
condemned and pro-gay arguments from a justice perspective are
presented.
In 1997, White was awarded the
American Civil Liberties Union's National Civil Liberties Award
for his efforts to apply the "soul force" principles of
Mahatma Gandhi and
Martin Luther King Jr. to the struggle for justice for sexual
minorities. He founded Soulforce, a national social justice
organization that works to end the political and religious
oppression of LGBT people, in 1998.
