Speaking Plainly

As a part of our Lent “Everything Must Go” series, Vince speaks in his sermon about language. About how keeping our language simple can cut to the core of the real message. ----- SUPPORT As we continue to have services and celebrations so that we can close Gilead with celebration and joy, we still could always use your support. You can support at ⁠⁠⁠⁠this GiveButter site⁠⁠⁠⁠ to help with closing and funeral costs. Any and all donations will go towards providing an incredible final chapter to our congregants and listeners before we close this spring. JOIN OUR JOURNEY ONLINE To stay updated on Gilead's journey to close and read as members of the community share stories from their time with Gilead, you can follow our ⁠⁠⁠⁠CaringBridge page⁠⁠⁠⁠. If you'd like to contribute memories or stories of Gilead, email your story to Vince at [email protected]. JOIN US IRL! Whoever you are, whatever your story is, you are welcome with us.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠Sign up for our newsletter here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to stay up to date on when and where our services are happening! (Sometimes that info changes, so the newsletter is the best way to keep up.) ABOUT US Just to make sure this is clear, we'd like to reiterate that everyone is welcome at our church. EVERYONE. We believe that human diversity of race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression — not to mention age, ability, relationship status, size — is necessary to reflect the fullness of God. Whoever you are, whatever your story is, you are welcome here. *** This episode was originally recorded on March 16, 2025
