This series is part of First United Methodist Church of Boulder’s Wednesdays of Wonder (WOW). WOW offers participants an opportunity to connect mid-week and enjoy food, fellowship, and learning. Each meeting is held at the church and begins with a simple meal at 5:15 pm. The workshop begins at 6:00 pm and is free. All are invited and welcome! Free parking.
First United Methodist Church of Boulder is a welcoming and affirming place of inclusion and acceptance. We joyfully welcome all people of any race, gender, sexual orientation, and faith traditions. Pat Bruns and Joe Agne are the pastors of First United Methodist Church of Boulder.
This sounds great. I hope that you will report on it during the Queer Theology series too.
I will do my best! Here is a link to a short interview I recently did with Sarah Bloesch the leader of the series.
