Trans Stories: A Panel Discussion

Trans Forum Meet & Greet

Learn to be better allies

In these uncertain and frightening times, we as Christians are called to stand up and to advocate for the rights of others, whose voices may not be heard. Right now state and Federal laws are being put in place to limit the rights of our siblings who are transgender.

Come hear personal stories of four people who live and work in our community. Listen for ways in which we can arm ourselves with knowledge and compassion and stand up for ALL God’s Children.

Questions? Rebecca.Merola@CentralPresKC.org OR DebMeinke@gmail.com

"At all Heartland Presbytery sponsored events, youth participants or youth groups must be accompanied by an adult sponsor who will chaperone throughout the event. Adult sponsors are responsible for having current medical and photo release forms for each of their students in attendance. If a student is not to be photographed, it is the responsibility of the adult sponsor to notify the Event Coordinator prior to the event. For groups without a release form, a standard version is available for download on the Presbytery website."  

It is permissible for youth groups/churches without adult chaperones to arrange “sponsor sharing” with other leaders prior to an event.
