QUESTIONS We're PONDERing
- How can CPC be a safe, inviting, affirming place for the LGBTQIA+ community?
- In what ways are we already practicing radical hospitality, and in what ways can we improve?
- What resources do we need to provide for members of our church family to equip them to practice radical hospitality in their own lives?
