  2. Our Stories: Matt Nightingale

    I have a conversation with my friend, the Rev. Matt Nightingale. His story of accepting himself is moving and echos so many of the stories of those of us in the LGBT+ community. As Pride Month comes to an end, let us lift up those who work for justice, inclusion, and family in our world.

    The season of Lent is often full of self-sacrifice, fasting, and repentance. What if there is a more meaningful practice for preparing for Easter this year?

    Pastor Matthew shares a bit of his story of finding the way of love. Throughout his life, Christian community has expressed the love of God in different ways, sometimes without exceptions, and sometimes with. As an LGBT+ person, this can make all the difference.

  11. Love Yourself First

    This week, we start our new series, “The Way of Love” talking about the life of Jesus as we face a divided world. First up is, "Love Yourself First," a message which goes against much of what the greater Church teaches. The life of Jesus shows us a different way.
