We will be holding Town Hall Meetings to enable members of our DGFUMC worshiping community to express where they stand on the issue of full acceptance and inclusion of all people and to express your will about supporting same sex marriage and the ordination into the ministry of people who identify as being LGBTQI.. Letters were mailed to each home in 
late August to begin the process and now we seek the input of members of our worshiping community.
