LGBTQ+ UNITED
Everyone is welcome! Grandparents, parents, friends, and allies are invited to join us on the SECOND WEDNESDAY of every MONTH! Two meeting times are available - one at noon until 1:00pm-ish and again at 6:30 until 7:30pm-ish.
We offer a loving, compassionate, and safe space to share stories and experiences, to support each other, and to learn from one another. We hope to be a resource for everyone no matter where you are on this heart-journey. We may not know all the answers, but we do know that WE ARE ALL GOD’S CHILDREN, and that GOD LOVES US ALL. We welcome EVERYONE - straight and LGBTQ+. Please join us!
You can follow our Strawbridge LGBTQ+ United Circle on Facebook and/or Instagram to say up-to-date!

BREAST CANCER SUPPORT
Isaiah 40:31 "But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength they will soar on wings like eagles, they will run and not be weary, they will walk and not be faint"
Our vision is to reach into the community and to impact the lives of women at any stage of breast cancer. We, as breast cancer survivors, have been through the same situations, or something very similar, and we are here to help them. We understand that the minute they are diagnosed with breast cancer they become a member of a club that they didn’t ask to join or want to be involved in. They can be and are overwhelmed with the challenging diagnosis. Our goal is to help others understand that there is HOPE, and they can possess healing that transforms their lives for a more fulfilling and better future.
Through support group meetings we will discuss:
- Emotional & spiritual support
- Relationships
- Nutrition and exercise
Women of all ethnicities diagnosed with breast cancer are welcome; especially, those who desire to live a more healthy and spiritual life through the belief that God is working in and through us.
We meet on the 3rd Tuesday of each month at Strawbridge United Methodist Church in the Bride's Room (152).
