Book Study:
Not My Grandmother's Hymnal
Join us as we learn about the challenges and resilience of a LGBTQ+ individual through poet Rebecca Wilson's book, "Not My Grandmother's Hymnal."
​
Led by Beth Plachta, the book study celebrates Pride Month and is open to all adults who can participate in a safe and supportive space. Rebecca will join us for the last week of discussion.
Just before examination for ordination in 2017, Rebecca made the difficult and liberating decision to come out as lesbian and surrender her provisional credentials as an act of witness, protest and survival. From the pain and possibility of that experience, Rebecca started 10CAMELS, where she is turning words into water for individuals and communities thirsty for hope and healing.
​
Published in March 2026, "Not My Grandmother's Hymnal" explores the religious practices and theological beliefs we inherit, stirring curiosity about what it means to be human and divine.
​
We'll meet in the church sanctuary. Our building is easy to access with no steps or barriers.
