Our own Heather Gee-Thomas spoke with @UMNews about the adversity that transgender children face each day, including her trans son: https://www.umnews.org/en/news/united-methodist-mother-of-trans-child-shares-story

We are so grateful to walk alongside Heather to support, educate, and advocate for our LGBTQIA+ siblings!#TransRightsAreHumanRights

We celebrate communion every Sunday and you’re invited to experience God’s love + grace at this open table for ALL people. Not just for members, not just for United Methodists. For you.

This is the bread of Life. This is the cup of Hope. Broken for you. Poured for you. Baked for you. Harvested for you. Blessed for you. A Holy Sacrament for you. A call to go out into the world to love God + love one another for you.

We believe the love of Jesus is radical and rooted in justice. #ForEveryoneBorn ❤️🏳️‍🌈✊🏾

Thanks to our friends at Neighborhood UMC ATL for the sign inspiration.

We were BLESSED to officially welcome Derek, Jennifer + Arthur White into our Glendale Family yesterday! With a Gamer Chaplain in our midst, there are so many opportunities to share the love + grace of God with new people in new ways! Stay tuned - great things are ahead!

A little bit about them: “We chose Glendale because of the open, loving, & gracious spirit exhibited by the pastor & congregation. Glendale is a wonderfully affirming place.”

What's another sign of the new life that we continue to experience at Glendale? The need to hire our first youth director in decades! We are so excited to introduce our new Youth Director, Sveta Griffin! If you, or someone you know, is looking for a safe + affirming group for 7th-12th graders, learn more at GlendaleUMC.org/Youth!

@revjtullos prayers lifted that truth + grace prevail. ❤️ #BeUMC

We remember + celebrate black movement leaders, creatives + all those whose shoulders we stand on today. The story is still being written - let us all remember + recommit ourselves to work for justice not only for a month each year, but everyday - so that black histories, lives + futures matter. #BlackHistoryMonth #BlackLivesMatter #BeUMC #GlendaleUMC

WHAT A DAY! We celebrated the baptism of Justin, Megan and Olivia, reaffirmed the baptism of Grey in his chosen name and welcomed the Maynard Family into our beautiful Glendale Fam! We can’t say how excited we are to be on this journey of faith + life alongside each of you. 💙

Well, the week has finally arrived: My congregations will have their disaffiliation informational meeting later this week. Your prayers for them are appreciated. All I know for sure is that I'm still going to #beumc regardless of what happens here. #UMC #pastorsofmastodon

We are SO excited to unveil our 2022 congregational photo - and check out the ones from 2019 and 2021! We give thanks to God for the continued growth and new life at Glendale! This community is a safe space for all people no matter the color of your skin, who you love or how you identify to explore your faith, find your people + make a difference in the lives of others. Come + join us as we begin another new year - the table at Glendale is large enough for all. #GodIsLove #GlendaleUMC #BeUMC

John Wesley's Journal dated 27 June, 1769: "By Christian Perfection, I mean, 1. Loving God with all our heart. Do you object to this? I mean, 2. A heart and life all devoted to God. Do you desire less? I mean, 3. Regaining the whole image of God. What objection to this? I mean, 4. Having all the mind that was in Christ. Is this going too far? I mean, 5. Walking uniformly as Christ walked."

Hello, #mastodon! It's great to meet you. The Foundry is a #umc digital church that's prepping for launch! We're a very different church (we know you've heard it before so we get it if you're uncertain) for people who want to follow Jesus but who don't want all the typical church drama.

The #UMC is completing its first big wave of church exits since a church law allowing disaffiliation took effect and a breakaway denomination launched.
