PIE Day Karaoke
Saturday, March 22nd, 6:00pm

This year’s theme, "Sing Out Proud," represents our sharing of values and joy in celebrating difference and diversity throughout our beloved 2SLGBTQIA+ and ally communities. You’re invited to an evening of joyful community in solidarity with faith communities across Canada. In the face of hateful behaviour all around our world that wants to stamp that joy out, let's “free our voice for singing the songs that overcome our fear” (Song of Hope, Jim Strathdee). Come buy a piece of pie in support of Evergreens, our community youth GSA led by Wes, share music and joyful friendship. There may even be a chance to bid on the opportunity to see one of our SSUC staff “pie-faced”! How can you miss it?!

Bio:
Since I was a teen, there was always a leaning toward feminine dress. After a lifetime ebbs and flows of who I truly was, I revealed my true self to the world on April 4, 2022. There was a lot of speculating about how people would react but it has been a very positive experience.

Once I was out of the closet, I didn't want to create another by living in seclusion so I have lived a very public life testing boundaries of society. I have always tried living the life that paves a path for both myself and those that follow. If I can be a positive experience to those I meet, I can give those that follow a chance at the same positive experience.

I have found that there are many allies out there. Most of them want to know more about me but also what they hear and don't understand. I endeavour to create a safe space for allies to ask questions. Education and safe spaces are key to gaining allies. I have been there for others at Hillhurst United, Wolseley Canada and Rainbow Elders Society of Calgary but also my day to day dealings with people I meet.

Writing Campaign in Support of Court Challenge Against Anti-trans Legislation

What better way to demonstrate being Public, Intentional, and Explicit than participating in a Writing Campaign, garnering support for the legal court challenge, to remove the anti-trans legislation passed by our current Alberta government?

The Affirming Ministry Action Committee has drafted letters to businesses and corporations that participated in Calgary's 2024 Pride Parade. The letters make an appeal for the companies to add their voices, and financial commitments, to support Skipping Stone and Egale Canada with the court challenge to do away with the anti-trans legislation.

As you enjoy your PIE lunch, please take time to add your name and contact information as signatories for these letters coming from the congregation of Robert McClure United Church.

The Affirm team invites you to an upcoming film screening on PIE Day––March 14, 2025, at 7:00 pm––in the Sanctuary. Pie will be served!

Please join us to view the highly acclaimed documentary film, “1946: The Mistranslation that Shifted Culture.” The film follows the story of tireless researchers who trace the origins of the anti-gay movement among Christians to a grave mistranslation of the Bible in 1946, casting significant doubt on any biblical basis for LGBTQIA+ prejudice.

Immediately following the screening, the film’s researchers, Kathy Baldock and Ed Oxford, will join us via Zoom for a Q & A session. Kathy Baldock is an author, LGBTQ advocate, international speaker and educator, and a leading expert on LGBTQ issues in the United States, especially dealing with historical and current discrimination faced from the socially conservative Christian church and political sector. Ed Oxford is a gay Christian, a graduate of Talbot School of Theology, and a researcher in how the Bible has been weaponized against LGBTQ people.

Don’t miss this exceptional opportunity to see an important film that helps unpack the relationship between culture, bias, and belief.

The event is free, but please register on our website so that our amazing Hospitality Team knows how much pie to prepare!

Robertson Wesley United Church's affirming ministry is hosting a free community event for the evening of March 14th, 2025, Pi day, or National Affirming Day; focusing on “P.I.E.” with the theme "sing out proud”. The aim of the event is to celebrate the 2SLGBTQIA+ community and Publicly, Intentionally, Explicitly (PIE) emphasize the work of Robertson-Wesley United Church and pride organizations across Edmonton, who not only support, but integrate and raise up the queer community in our midst.

With the Alberta Legislature recently putting through several anti-trans related bills, the support of trans and non-binary individuals and vocal opposition to this sort of political rhetoric is essential. For that reason, whatever donations are received for this event will be split 50/50 between Robertson Wesley’s affirming work and Egale Canada’s efforts towards the litigation against these bills. Egale Canada is working with several families and Skipping Stone, suing the AB government for unconstitutional discrimination, particularly for Bill 26, which was just put into law on Dec 5, 2024.

The event itself is free (donations happily accepted) and will feature delicious pie, community networking, socializing, empowering words and a variety show of local performers.

View the performances as a recording and live stream via our youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/RWUnitedChurch/live
