Forum this Sunday: After Orlando – In the aftermath of the mass shooting and murder of 49 people at Pulse last Saturday in Orlando, Florida, many of us are filled with intense feelings of grief, anger and fear. We struggle too with intersecting issues: LGBTQ rights and vulnerability, gun violence, domestic terror and the fear of retaliatory scapegoating of the Muslim community. This Sunday, following the 11 am service, we will spend some time in conversation together, about what we are feeling, what we need and how we are called to respond as a Christian community in faith, courage and most of all, love. Please join us.

Prices rise at the start of 2027, so current rates apply through the end of this year. She notes that planning ahead can bring peace to us and those who love us, and offers to talk through these decisions with those who may wish to.
