Event Description:
Gender & Sexuality Justice Ministries invites you to celebrate queer lives OUT LOUD on National Coming Out Day for an inaugural Queer & Wonderfully Made Worship service October 11th, 7-8 PM ET with musical guest Flamy Grant!
Worship will be led by a variety of familiar United Church of Christ faces. Rev. Jes Kast will provide a homily, members of Encuentros Latinx will provide a bi-lingual scripture reading, Rev. Dr. Katrina Roseboro-Marsh of the Open & Affirming Coalition will provide a queer celebration prayer and more Queer clergy members will provide queer blessings as our benediction. And, last but certainly not least, music will be provided by Billboard chart topping queer Christian artist Flamy Grant!!
No matter where you are on your coming out journey - whether that is coming out of the closet for the first time or coming out as a queer advocate - this worship service is for you!
National Coming Out Day first began in 1988 as a way to celebrate the one-year anniversary of the National March on Washington for Lesbian and Gay Rights. This date was chosen to honor the bravery of LGBTQ+ individuals coming out for love, justice and equality for all LGBTQ+ people. Now, National Coming Out Day continues to be a marker of that same love, need for justice and equality.
Join us October 11th, 7-8 PM ET and consider hosting a watch party with your congregation or community groups! We believe love is louder and when we love our neighbors OUT LOUD together — we live out the bold decree of Psalm 139 where scripture declares you are WONDERFULLY MADE!
