We are in the midst of a pivotal moment in our shared story. The well-being of transgender and non-binary youth is being debated in legislative sessions across the United States. As of March 3 there have been 385 anti-LGBTQ bills introduced, with 108 of these bills aiming to end gender affirming healthcare for trans and non-binary youth. This places more than 54,000 trans youth actively taking life-saving gender affirming medical care at risk.
This is the highest number of anti-LGBTQ bills ever introduced in a single legislative season.

Last Sunday, Aliya Prescott spoke with us during Fellowship Hour about the vital work that Nourishing Hope (formerly known as the Lakeview Pantry) is doing in Chicago.

Wellington’s Church Council has created a WAGGLE FORM where you can submit notes about possible locations you’ve scouted for our future home!
Click here to access the form!
Even if you haven’t scouted a spot yet, looking at the form will give you a sense of the questions you’ll need to ask about a space.
Not ready to scout on your own? Click on the button below to connect with other scouts, or to ride along with Pastor Ann-Louise on a scouting tour.
