Our Reconciling Ministries Task Force has been taking a Nonbinding Referendum on a proposed welcoming statement which affirms the full participation of LGBTQ persons at CUMC. If you haven’t read and commented on this proposed statement yet, please see Gary Gruebnau on Sunday for a copy because WE NEED YOUR RESPONSE BY THIS COMING SUNDAY so that we can discuss the results of this nonbinding referendum at our annual Church Conference on Thursday, October 27, when our annual meeting begins at 7pm.
To help us in our decision-making process, after worship this Sunday the Task Force will be re-showing the documentary “Fish Out of Water” which addresses the seven Bible passages most often quoted by those who resist full inclusion. If you haven’t seen this video, please join us after worship to gain a deeper understanding about the urgency of our reconciling process (please allow about an hour for the movie).
Gary Gruebnau, Team Leader of the Reconciling Ministries Task Force
