Gracious Reconcilers
A Reconciling Community* of Grace UMC
“We are an inclusive community which welcomes, affirms and celebrates ALL people as children of God without regard to sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, race, economic status, nationality or any other distinction by which humanity divides people.”
We celebrate God’s gift of diversity and value the wholeness made possible in community equally shared and shepherded by all.
As followers of Jesus, we commit ourselves to the pursuit of justice and pledge to stand in solidarity with all who are marginalized and oppressed.”
Our group is not exclusive. Anyone is invited to attend by contacting Merryl Dietz ahead of time for information. merryldietz@verizon.net
We seek to work toward making Grace UMC an affirming congregation where any person attending will feel safe, accepted and welcomed just as they are.
*A Reconciling Community is a small group such as a Sunday school class, youth group, UMW Circle, music ministry, camping ministry, etc. In some churches, a new group is formed specifically to become a Reconciling Community. The entire group votes and is making the decision only for the group, not beyond. Church members who are not part of this group do not participate in the vote. - Definition from Reconciling Ministries Network website
