Support Team Broad Street for AIDS Walk Ohio
There’s still time to support Team Broad Street UMC for AIDS Walk Ohio 2023! Contributions are accepted online through April 21!
You may make a donation at aidswalkohio.com under our team name “Broad Street UMC”. Contact Sue Hughes at (614) 578-7696 or shughesp@aol.com with questions. Thank you very much!
When a child comes out to their family, it often raises many questions for both the child and for the family.
For example:
What does it mean for the family when a child comes out to their parents?
What does it mean for the parents’ relationship to their church?
What does it mean for the parents’ own faith?
How do parents navigate their own “coming out” after their children have come out to them?
What is the impact on you and your family and especially your LGBTQ+ child with the disaffiliation process taking place currently in some UM congregations?
The sessions are designed to provide a safe space where questions and concerns can be dealt with openly and honestly.
Wednesdays, April 19, 26, May 3, and May 10
This session of the class will be held on Zoom. The meetings will begin at 7:00 p.m. and conclude by 8:30 p.m.
If you want to participate in the class, please email Jim at jwaugh3@mac.com. Put “Kids Class” in the Subject line. A few days prior to the class session, you will receive a Zoom invitation from Jim for the sessions.
The Rev. Jim Waugh, retired pastor in the West Ohio Conference, will lead the group. Jim and his wife, Carol, have an adult daughter, Lisa, who came out to them over twenty years ago. Jim served a four-year term as the chair of the Parents Reconciling Network Board (a group related to the Reconciling Ministries Network). If you have questions or need more information, please feel free to email Jim at jwaugh3@mac.com.
