Equaility Illinois will present a workshop on marriage equality. The Gay & Straight Together Ministry focuses on reaching out to GLBT folks and sponsoring educational sessions for all in the congregation. We honor Jesus as our Lord and Savior by doing ministry as He did while on earth - treating everyone with compassion, love and respect. We honor Jesus by treating our brothers and sisters in Christ as we would Jesus himself, since all are to be Christ in the flesh. We are all His treasured children. This ministry focuses its efforts on creating opportunities to reinforce this belief with our GLBT neighbors and friends. Welcoming all of God's Children to worship, praise, and serve our Creator God side-by-side will enable us to show gay and lesbian folks that Jesus is Lord of our life. Gay and Straight Together Ministy has been busy with planning outreach events.
