We are grateful for the donations we’ve received so far for the Silent Auction being held at the concert; if you or someone you know would like to contribute, these funds will help us enhance at least two of our Ministries: Family & Children (outreach) and Music & Worship.

LGBT+ Coffee & Conversation Evening: Nov 12 at 7pm

In-person @ St. Thomas in Chilliwack

St Thomas is committed to welcome, engage, and support LGBTQ+ community as alley's. Being a Pride Chilliwack the past 2 summers has been a highlight! We host 2 open conversation evenings each year to connect, learn, and grow together. We've had Stacey Chomiak share her published work "Still Stace" and Rev. David Taylor offer his story thought music. Both have been remarkable evenings of sharing hearts and healing together. This term we have Rev. Andrew Halladay coming to share his story.

Andrew's journey as a queer leader in the Christian Church began in Prince George BC when he saw a rainbow flag hanging outside of St Michael & All Angels Anglican church. Through music, especially the church choir, and performance, Andrew transitioned from stumbling into Sunday morning service after a long Saturday night into a priesthood that welcomes all to participate in the life of the church. Andrew will tell his story through teaching some of his favourite songs and acting out some of the gospel stories. Prepare to sing and move and participate in the priesthood of all believers.

No fee. Please REGISTER HERE if possible or just drop in!

Get your tickets at the office when you come in for our weekly services, or during office hours!

As always, please let me know if you or anyone you know would like a visit from the clergy!

Love from,

Andrew
