Standing on the Side of Love: Candlelight Vigil in Support of the Right to Marry

Monday, November 10, 5:00 - 6:30pm

Join a prayerful, peaceful candlelight vigil in solidarity with the LGBT community.  Families, students, allies, people of faith, of conscience, of compassion - everyone is encouraged to stand on the side of love and the freedom to marry.  There is no proposition that can be passed, no law that can be written, and no constitutional amendment that can be added which can ever truly deny the love and commitment between two people.  We cannot be silent when the rights of anyone are eliminated.  Now is the time to stand on the side of love.

Gather at the location nearest you (or email council@councilofchurches-scc.org to list a new location) Monday, Nov. 10, between 5-6:30pm.  Initial gathering places:
