Campfire Collective
Oct 9th @ 5:30pm EVERY SECOND FRIDAY of the month, all LGBTQIA+ and Allies are invited into community at Nineveh: Lutheran Justice Ministry to gather around the fire, meet new friends, check-in with old ones and enjoy some fireside treats! If the weather is not our friend, we will move indoors for a movie night! Everyone is welcome! The event is free! The structure of the Collective has been intentionally left open so that we can build this program together as friends. It is open to all LGBTQIA+ and Allies of all ages and we at Nineveh are committed to its prospects. We are a faith-based organization, but the Campfire Collective is not a religious event. We gather only as friends and equals. |
