Coming Out Day / Spirit Day

Millions wear purple on Spirit Day as a sign of support for LGBTQ youth and young adults, and to speak out against bullying. Join us today as we celebrate our LGBTQ family and friends.This service is a multi-gen “Action Sunday,” where children remain in the short service with their families, then all ages split into activities for the remainer of the “worship time.”
