If you happen to be in vicinity of Lakewood, Ohio (Cleveland area), on Sunday, February 28, please consider joining Trinity Lutheran as they celebrate the 2009 ELCA Churchwide Assembly's decisions regarding LGBT people and their families. A special worship service will be offered at 5:00 p.m., followed by a potluck. Bishop Elizabeth Eaton of the Northeast Ohio Synod, as well as ecumenical guests, will be in attendance. Fabulous music and a great party are included! The offering from the service will go to the Northeastern Ohio Synod.
And as long as we're talking about Trinity Lakewood . . . . Back in October, Trinity's pastor, Rev. Paula Maeder Connor, recieved a handwritten note from the United States Senator from Ohio, Sherrod Brown, regarding the 2009 ELCA Churchwide Assembly's decision to allow Lutherans in lifelong, publicly accountable, monogamous same-gender relationships to serve as rostered ministers in the ELCA. The note from Senator Brown read, "Reverend Connor, My Church made me proud with its new position on ordination. Thank you for speaking out."
Thank you, Trinity Lakewood, for your continuing witness.
