May we be instruments of your love, working to create a world where all are seen, valued, and affirmed in their full dignity. In your holy name, we pray. Amen.

On this Transgender Day of Visibility, we lift up our trans and nonbinary siblings, celebrating their courage, resilience, and the gifts they bring to the world. Grant us the wisdom to listen, the compassion to support, and the strength to stand against injustice and discrimination.

We moved to an electronic-only model in the pandemic and haven't looked back!

We have a seasonal leaflet with the structure of the service and all of the seasonal music and prayers for those who want to be (quite understandably) device-free in church. 👍
