What is the Transgender Day of Remembrance?
This is the day we remember our dead, those who were murdered over the past year

There have been 31 murders in the US thus far this year.
MEALTRAIN FOR VICKIE BOWMAN

Church and Board Member Vickie Bowman fell down the stairs and “broke stuff” (her leg and ankle). Following surgery, she is back at home with a hard cast and instructions to rest and keep her leg elevated. No weight bearing on her left leg. She will likely be out of commission until Christmas. A couple friends are taking turns staying with her. Please consider bringing a meal for her and the friend or donating to help with groceries or DoorDash.
Thank You!
