SUMMARY:Listening and Learning Session: Pride Flags 
DESCRIPTION:As we seek to continue to live out our Open and Affirming Covenant\, the Love Leads Team brought a proposal to the November 19 Church Council meeting to move the pride flags\, currently in the windows\, to a more prominent place on the columns. As Church Council considers this proposal\, we would love to hear the thoughts of the congregation. Please join us for a listening and learning session on Sunday\, after worship in the conference room. If you’d like to view the video from our most recent ONA session regarding trans and nonbinary inclusion\, please click HERE. We intend to have a second conversation opportunity in the New Year.
