Our first HILL Talk is on Sunday, July 21st, 12:30 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. in Community Hall.  The topic is Senior Living Choices for the LGBTQ Community.  Our speakers are Barbara Glass, Senior LQBTQ advocate,  and John Steele, President of Alternative Living Choices.  You will find it enlightening and informative about the real choices’ LGBTQ families have to make.  The Evangelism Ministry will provide a light lunch, so we ask that you to RSVP (to help us with our food planning). Also use the RSVP to let us know if you would like to have the nursery available for your children 3 and under.  There will be activity tables set up in Community Hall for children. Please invite friends and family.
