by Leo Bancroft
Region 1 Regional Coordinator
I am new to this volunteer position since April, after Karen and Paul Jolly retired from 11 years of faithful service.
God's love is big enough for everyone, and I am committed to helping churches be places of love, belonging and welcome for all, especially those in the LGBTQ community.
Region 1 includes Oregon, Montana, Alaska, Idaho and Washington, and I am a volunteer with a day job in the tech world, so I wanted to put together this blog to give us all a chance to connect, teach, inspire, encourage, and help one another.
This first launch includes a few reflections from folks from different synods in this Region.
- Mary Lauver from the Eastern Washington/Idaho Synod reflects on the power of welcome
- MaryAnn Nelson from the Southwest Washington Synod shares her thoughts on the Supreme Court ruling on the freedom to marry for all
- David De Block from the Northwest Washington Synod shares his reflections on Pride
- Preston Blackburne from the Oregon Synod shares his photo reflections on Pride
And be sure to check out the Events page to find out opportunities in your area.
Enjoy! and thank you for all you do!
