Sanctuary

Sanctuary is a monthly spiritual gathering devoted to and expressly for the GLBTQ community and supporters, led by Rev. Sara Thompson Tweedy with music ministry provided by Rev. Eric Jennings. Drawing on many spiritual traditions, we sing, we reflect, we share, we hope, and most of all we ask for understanding from the truth which lies deep within us. Our gatherings happen on the third Thursday of every month at 7:30pm at Memorial UMC, 250 Bryant Ave. in White Plains. Learn more about Sancturary
