Have you ever wrestled with the question, “Do I Stay Christian?” You’re not alone. Join us for a six-session study of Brian McLaren’s book, Do I Stay Christian? A Guide for the Doubters, the Disappointed, and the Disillusioned.

McLaren doesn’t push for easy answers. Instead, he invites us to reflect honestly and faithfully on how we live out both our faith and our humanity. Register and learn more at this link

WELLSPRING SHIRTS!

We are asking everyone to wear their Wellspring “All Are Welcome” t-shirt for the Georgetown Pride Festival on October 11.  We have an existing stock of some shirts, but have tweaked our design and will be taking orders until September 20.  We are now providing both the black and the blue shirts with our Rainbow design and improved Wellspring logo.  We are offering both colors in either cotton or performance material similar to dri-fit.  Prices are $20 for sizes up to XL and $24 for sizes 2XL & 3XL.  You can contact Becky directly or use the link to order.  We will fill all orders with our existing stock first and then the rest with the new graphic. We do have 3 blue shirts left with the white design in small, XL & 2XL.

We are excited to be hosting the 2025 Georgetown Pride Festival on our campus! This is a fantastic opportunity for Wellspring to extend radical hospitality, create a safe and affirming space, and boldly embody our ongoing advocacy for the LGBTQ+ community. This festival allows us to live out the promise of our motto—“All Are Welcome, All Are Accepted, All Are Loved, and All Means All”—in a visible and meaningful way, as we affirm God’s love for every person.

While the event is organized and run by Georgetown Pride, it is also an opportunity for us to live our faith publicly, to build bridges of belonging, and to shine a light on God’s unconditional welcome for all. Volunteers are needed to help in various ways. Let’s show up with open hearts and helping hands to make this a day of joy, connection, and powerful witness.

Join us for a day of reflection on how the Church is changing in digital culture. Keynoter Jeffrey Mahan says that most congregations are ill-prepared for the forms of Christian life that are emerging. He describes and in a series of small group conversations we will explore: 1) a shift to seeing Christian identity as an ongoing construction project, 2) the development of fluid networked forms of community, and 3) the emergence of less hierarchical and more conversational forms of leadership.
