Video Series/Online Curriculum
Watch out for more info on this one. We have been preparing to film an online course for parents who are learning about their child’s LGBTQ+ experience. Family members have lots of questions and concerns when their child “comes out'”. We are doing our best to address these. Please be praying for us as we get ready to record these classes and go “live” with a new website to support this curriculum. More info coming soon!
Thursday Night Support Group
In May, we wrapped up our “School Year.” Over the summer, we will continue to meet and offer supplemental talks at our weekly support group. The ReSOULutions series returns in September when we will be talking about “Seeking True Connection: Addictions are False Solutions”. In October we will dive into “Understanding Sexual & Gender Identity & Same Sex Attraction”.
We currently meet in-person on the 1st & 3rd Thursdays (you can stream the talk if you like).and via Zoom on the 2nd & 4th Thursday nights of the month. If you’d like to check out our meeting, please let us know. We’d love to see you and are happy to be able to provide this resource for folks outside of the Denver area now via Zoom. Come join us!
Discipleship Counseling
We continue to be available to walk alongside people who need some individual time to process issues that have come up in their lives. There are a variety of ways we can meet… via phone, Zoom, or in-person. Please let us know if you would like to check-in. We are available via phone or Zoom for those outside of the Denver Metro Area, as well as those within.
Speaking
We’ve had a busy this year. A couple of highlights… In May, we wrapped up a 4 week series with a local church. This was a very encouraging time, with around 100 mostly twenty and thirty somethings who were sincerely seeking to learn more about how the church and the LGBTQ+ communities can come together with better understanding. Later this month (June), a panel from WGA will be sharing their experiences as family members of someone who identifies as LGBTQ+ at the EPC General Assembly.
We love to share about WGA and speak about topics of gender and sexuality. Please consider having us come to your church!
Financial Update
WGA’s donations are down a fair amount when compared to recent years at this time. If you are able, a donation would help us to withstand this. If you already support WGA, would you consider increasing your regular gift amount?
