Join us for our next Coalition of Accomplices for Racial Equity (CARE) Connect meeting in person at Sip and Savor! This gathering will include light refreshments and an engaging discussion on the importance of creating affirming spiritual spaces for the LGBTQ+ community. With only two CARE Connects left this year, this is your opportunity to tap into our community and engage in meaningful conversations.
