Normal Heights United Methodist Church

Queer Affirming Theology
2024-10-27 09:00 - 10:30 (America/Los_Angeles) | Normal Heights United, 4650 Mansfield Street, San Diego, CA, 92116, United States
A dearly held value here at NHUnited is expressed in the banner that hangs right off our building: All Loved, All Welcomed, All Affirmed, Always. We absolutely believe that queerness is a gift from God and is to be celebrated. And so, your pastors – Brent, Molly, and Melissa – will be leading a 3-week class offering a framework for that celebration as found in Christian scripture and theology. After exploring scripture and theology in the first two weeks, the third week will be more dialogical, bringing examples from our everyday lives (relationships, worship, and mental health) to imagine together how we can apply this life-giving view of God, ourselves, others, and creation.

Songwriter Santuary: MC Edition!
2024-10-25 18:30 - 21:30 | Normal Heights United, 4650 Mansfield Street, San Diego, CA, 92116, United States
Songwriter Sanctuary will take on a new rhythm with a special MC Edition featuring The Neighborhood Kids, The Brothers Burns, and Rob Deez. Typically known for its intimate acoustic sets and behind-the-song storytelling, the original music series is shifting gears to spotlight songwriters whose craft is rooted in hip hop, where rhythm, flow, and rhyme take center stage. Hosted by the iconic Jeff Berkley in collaboration with Normal Heights United, this event will bring a fresh spin to the Songwriter Sanctuary experience.

This all-ages event has a suggested donation of $10 for entry. Doors open at 6:30pm, and the music starts in our Sanctuary at 7pm. Beverages will be available for purchase too!
