-
Suicide Prevention Vigils: to bring awareness to the increased risk of suicide among TGLBQ youth. Download our Suicide Prevention Education packet for more information.
-
Legislative Prayer Breakfast: to let Oregon legislators hear the voice of welcoming congregations and spiritual leaders, on issues of equality.
Other congregational support offerings include:
-
Regional workshops
-
Workshop and networking at our Annual Meeting.
-
Workshops in becoming more welcoming.
Your ideas for needed workshops/classes are appreciated.
The Community of Welcoming Congregations is doing work that is uniquely theirs to do. No other organization provides the independent religious voice on behalf of LGBT people in Oregon that is a requisite for our future political success. ~Harry Knox, HRC Director of Religion and Faith
