Rainbow Steps, Community Wins, and What Comes Next
This week at Oak Lawn UMC, we’re sharing a moment many in our community have been waiting for.
Rev. Ryan opens with celebrations from a full and meaningful week, including the Dallas Landmark Commission’s decision to grant the Rainbow Steps three more years as a public work of art and public witness. We also celebrate community partnerships, a packed sanctuary, a successful blood drive, and the growing presence of queer youth finding belonging at Oak Lawn.
Rev. Rachel then reads a letter from Bishop Ruben Saenz Jr. of the Horizon Texas Conference, offering gratitude and affirmation for Oak Lawn’s courage, faith, and visible commitment to love. The letter names the Rainbow Steps as art, testimony, and a promise to LGBTQ neighbors that they are seen, safe, and loved.
📅 Upcoming at Oak Lawn UMC
February 1 and February 8 A two-week symposium, Gender Diversity: Made in God’s Image. Week one focuses on shared learning and resources. Week two features a Q&A with gender-diverse people sharing their faith journeys.
February 28 Mark Miller in concert at Oak Lawn UMC. Today is the final day to purchase discounted tickets before prices increase. Choirs from across North Texas are invited to join for this special evening.
