Today (Nov. 20) is Transgender Day of Remembrance. Today we honor the memory of trans people whose lives have been lost in acts of anti-trans violence.

Trans people are beautifully and wonderfully made and beloved by God. No exceptions.

Our church also loves you and welcomes you with open arms! LGBTQ people are welcome, affirmed, and included in all aspects of church life at Greenwood Forest Baptist Church.

Happy Coming Out Day! Coming Out is a sacred moment for many LGBTQ people and a pivotal moment in their relationships with others and the world.

[Greenwood Forest @GFBCCary]

If you came out today, a long time ago, or may come out in the future, know that you are blessed and beloved by God. If you can't come out or don't feel it's the right time, God goes with you, too, and loves all of who you are.

Today we celebrate the heritage, accomplishments, and continued culture of the indigenous peoples of the land called the United States. GFBC sits on land home to the Lumbee and Yį Įsuwą people. Find out more about the land under your feet & its people at https://t.co/AaYBtc9E5k.

Our flags were stolen again last night. We're working on replacing them but in their absence, know that we still believe that Black lives matter and your queerness is beloved by us and by God. Be in prayer for those who feel compelled to destroy symbols of inclusion and love.

"God…give me the courage to pull myself from the mud and to walk toward you. Give me the courage to own my mistakes, to apologize, and to make better choices tomorrow. We are all just works in progress, trying to grow in the direction of love." —Rev. Sarah Speed | @sanctifiedart
