OCTOBER 7: Graceful Engagement
NOVEMBER 4: Common Language
DECEMBER 2: Good Conversations

Explore simple ways we can build community through our hospitality for people of all sexual orientations, gender identities and gender expressions.

Graceful Engagement: This helpful tool reminds us to root ourselves in the love of God as we seek to build relationships with our neighbors. Join us for a time of guided breathing, reflection and learning how to love and care for our neighbors in divisive times.

Common Language: Loving our neighbor requires us to take time to learn more about who they are. We will learn more about the diversity and difference around sex assigned at birth, gender identity, gender expression and sexual orientation, and how this can impact our ways to be intentional in our hospitality and welcome.

Good Conversations (with time for 1:1 practice): Now that we have learned new tools and awareness in the first two sessions, let’s put them into practice. Learn how to have meaningful and productive conversations in which you practice intentional invitation, hospitable curiosity, listening more than speaking, finding shared values and experiences, and building ongoing relationships.
