Come and picnic on Saturday, Oct 1, with Always God\u2019s Children<\/a>, the ministry of St Matthew\u2019s Cathedral to gay and lesbian Catholics and our families and friends. I will be there & there will be others from a wide range of beliefs and personal situations. Basically if you\u2019d like to meet people who will understand where your questions are coming from, and meet you with empathy no matter where you\u2019re at, consider picnicking with us.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll meet outside the Rock Creek Park Nature Center at 1 pm. Please email me eve_tushnet@yahoo.com if you\u2019re thinking about attending, so that a) we can coordinate food and b) you can tell me how to get in touch with you if we need to relocate due to inclement weather. The picnic will go on even if it rains but we may move to a member\u2019s house.<\/p>\n

The Nature Center is accessible by car & by the E2\/E4 bus line. Let me know if you have any questions, if you need to coordinate a car pool, etc. To learn more about AGC, click here<\/a>. (I don\u2019t remember if we have an email address listed on that page. DON\u2019T USE THAT ONE. Mine, eve_tushnet@yahoo.com , will get you a MUCH faster response!)<\/p>\n

Please do share this information with anyone you think might be interested.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
