Still Here, Still Queer Code:FC08 Start Time:Friday, August 18, 2017 11:00 AM End Time:Friday, August 18, 2017 12:30 PM Available:30 Fee Amount:$0.00 Description:Have you ever wondered what it's like being a rainbow sheep (aka queer) within your congregation? Perhaps you're a leader and have some rainbow youth. Regardless of who's the sheep, "Still Here, Still Queer" is a workshop designed to educate young adults and leaders on how they can address and understand their rainbow sheep within the church. Often people of gender and sexual minorities are overlooked and this is often done by accident. Leaders and young adults in the church, often lack the vocabulary or tools in order to help and understand those rainbow sheep around them and this workshop will provide you with those tools. Gender and sexuality are two very confusing, broad and sometimes hidden topics, especially within the church. It is of utmost importance that leaders and young adults within the church understand and have compassion for those who are a part of the LGBTQ+ community. Are you part of the rainbow flock in your church? Maybe a lone rainbow sheep? Perhaps a rainbow sheep that is hiding in a cave? Or even a rainbow sheep ally? Regardless what kind of sheep you are, we are determined to make any and every sheep welcome in our church. We invite young adults and leaders to participate in this work-sheep.
