Several positions are open for individuals to take leadership in reaching out to others. They include:

• HELP FOR NEWCOMERS - We would like to have materials available for individuals who have questions about being gay and Christian. The Church Library has materials, and there is also information on the net. In addition, some members of our group are very knowledgeable about these matters and may be willing to be a resource to others if asked. We can provide a list list of these sources of information both on this website and at the table at coffee hour. However, all of this needs to be organized. If you are interested in helping others find some of the answers that have been helpful to you, then this could be a meaningful contribution.
