This past Saturday, Jason Lee Memorial UMC was filled with joy, laughter, and connection as some of our young adults and adults organized a special event: a brunch for the LGBTQIA+ community.
Around 30 people gathered in our fellowship hall to share a meal, make new friends, and experience the gift of community in a safe and affirming space. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming - a true reflection of who we are as a church.
Alongside the brunch, our Queer Closet also received and shared clothing donations, providing a practical way to support and care for one another. This exchange of generosity and kindness highlighted the spirit of community we seek to nurture at Jason Lee Memorial UMC.
At Jason Lee Memorial UMC, we believe that everyone is a beloved child of God. We celebrate diversity, honor the sacred worth of all people, and welcome every person without exception. Saturday’s brunch was another beautiful reminder that when we come together in love, walls come down and friendships are built.
We are grateful for the creativity and dedication of our young adults and adults who helped make this gathering possible, and we look forward to many more opportunities to open our doors wide to our neighbors.
Jason Lee Memorial UMC is - and will continue to be - a welcoming congregation where all are invited, valued, and loved.
Rev. Marvel Souza
