During the GIFT hours on February 2nd and 9th, the Rainbow Conversation Team will present a two-part series focusing on the most misunderstood, at-risk, and controversial sector of the LGBTQ+ community – those who are Transgender. Through informative and powerful videos followed by discussion, we hope to shed more light on what it means to be transgender and how we, as a church, can be more open and affirming.  We encourage you to join us for this important conversation. We dedicate this series to all the colorful birds.

Explore the benefits of gentle stretching and strengthening right from your chair. No experience necessary. Just wear comfortable clothing and shoes, and you’re ready to go. A $10 donation per class is welcome, half of which will be donated to local mission work. This class is held on zoom.

Come experience the mind-calming, body-affirming benefits of yoga with the life-giving breath of the Holy Spirit! Grace Unfolding is a unique, Christ-centered yoga class that weaves in prayer, Scripture and Christian music to help you tap into and deepen your connection to the Lord as you stretch and strengthen your body. It is practiced at a relaxed pace appropriate for all experience levels, and includes quiet reflection at the beginning and end of each class. Simply bring a mat and an open heart! A zoom option is available, class is held in the Chapel.
