 "Two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed. If one person falls, the other can reach out and help. But someone who falls alone is in real trouble."
~ Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 (New Living Translation)

This group is designed to meet the specific needs of parents, families and friends of gays and lesbians. This new ministry has been created by church members who have experienced first-hand the emotions involved with learning your child is gay. The purpose of the group is to help group members accept and love their children as they are, while at the same time dealing with their own emotions. The support comes through sharing experiences and listening to others share their stories. This group meets the second Monday of every month, 7:00 to 8:30 PM in Heritage House. If you have questions or would like more information please call the church at 817-481-2559 x299 to leave a confidential message.
