The Good Shepherd United Church of Christ
17750 S. La Cañada Drive, Sahuarita, AZ 85629
This year’s theme is “From Border to Belonging: A celebration of commitment, compassion, and community across the US/Mexico borderlands.”
The United States-Mexico borderlands has always been a beautiful mix of culture, language, cuisine, economies, and people. It has also been a place of struggle, high and low temperatures, a fragile environment, and the push and pull of immigration. The Borderlands is the perfect place to explore the arts, touch the culture, and have deeper conversations about the complicated issues that collide here. We hope you will come and explore with us all the possibilities.

The Church of the Palms’ LGBTQ+ Ministry Team commits to an annual Transgender Day of Remembrance to memorialize the transgender people whose lives were lost in acts of anti-transgender violence, hatred or prejudice during the last calendar year.
This year, the opening speaker will be Elgie Gonzales, her topic “Othering and Belonging.” There will be a reading of names of the people who have experienced a confirmed violent death in the last year, followed by a panel of several representatives from the transgender community and Mama Dragons to encourage attendees to ask questions to gain understanding and additional knowledge. The panel will be moderated by Elgie Gonzalez.
This secular event is open to everyone regardless of their faith or no faith. The hope for this time of remembrance is of increasing awareness and understanding of our transgender siblings.
