October Meeting:  Examining RMN’s Rooted and Rising Project

October 6, 2021 — Rio Texas MFSA

Our Zoom meeting on Thursday, October 14th will be led by Reverends Nancy Mossman and Richard Bates.  They will share what has been developing in the Rio Texas Rooted and Rising Project, associated with RMN congregations and individuals.  Rooted & Rising is a call to the Reconciling movement for the next season of our collective work for LGBTQ justice and inclusion in the Church. It represents our vision for a Church that thirsts for justice and that searches for living water, no matter what the denomination decides when the General Conference meets.

Richard and Nancy, along with others from around the conference, are planning three test worship services to be held via ZOOM and directed towards LGBTQ folks and allies who live in desert areas and are in need of a healing and inclusive worship setting.

The meeting will begin at 7:00 pm.  Please join us!
