This has been a difficult week. We are witnessing the current federal administration attack some of our most marginalized community members directly. Among many other things, it has been difficult to witness the attacks on gender-affirming care for minors.Â
Our congregation has queer, trans, and gender-expansive or gender-playful children and young people. We affirm in our church that all children are divine, beloved, holy, and sacred.Â
In this place, we will continue to care for, love, protect, and defend our queer and trans children. We will not stand for or allow attacks on their safety, access to healthcare, or right to exist peacefully in our communities. We will strive to create communities that do not just accept or tolerate who they are but that celebrate them in the fullness of their lives and experiences.Â
No matter what happens on a national level, this is a community where all children are welcomed and loved. If there is any particular support you need at this time, please let us know. Your ministry team is here to support you and your family.Â
