The Radical Act of Being Yourself
Sunday, 11 October 2026 at 11:00am
On Sunday, October 11th, we celebrate LGBTQ+ Coming Out Day, Young Girls Day, and Indigenous Peoples Day through Isaiah 43:1: "I have called you by name, you are mine." This verse speaks to all who've been marginalized—inviting us to step out of society's shadows and claim our full, God-given identities. Imagine the liberation when each of us could authentically become who we truly are. Join us as we listen to each other's stories, explore art from our community, and discover what freedom looks like when God calls us by name. Come as you are – you are welcome here!
