We who were nurtured in United Methodism’s theology of God’s generous grace can now bring our full selves as we respond to the Holy Spirit’s call into ordained ministry. May we be judged on the fruits of our ministry, not on our sexual orientation or gender identity. #UMCGC

In an emotional morning, General Conference has eliminated the ban on “self-avowed practicing” gay clergy. Following the vote at break, delegates and observers sang hymns in joy.

My congregation (@LAFirstUMC) only has a parking lot in DTLA which generates revenue for our operating expenses. We meet under pop-up tents each week and are clear about our LGBTQIA inclusiveness, mission, & values. More people worship with us than before the pandemic.

If would like to donate to our Breakfast Ministry on this Giving Tuesday, we would be so grateful. It costs around $400/week to provide hot meals, coffee, juice, and milk, and every dollar we receive on Sunday morning in our offering goes directly to supporting this ministry. 7/

We have been able to make ongoing connections with people so as to learn more about what is most important and most helpful. We see 40-50 people each week, but we know we could serve more with additional support and resources. 6/

@LAFirstUMC's Breakfast Ministry has become a gift to our congregation and community. Every week, our volunteers welcome guests to sit down and be served at tables under our tents. 5/
