Worship for National Coming Out Day

There's a room full of people in Atlanta who will never ask you to be less of yourself.

On Sunday, October 4 at 5pm, The Collective is hosting Community Worship for National Coming Out Day at Virginia-Highland Church. We'll gather, we'll sing, we'll raise funds for Georgia Equality, and for the first time, we're offering a name change blessing during the service.

If you or someone you love has stepped into a name that fits better than the one they were given, this is a moment to have that name spoken aloud, held by a community, and honored in worship. Sign up to participate here: Name Blessing Participation

Coming out still costs something in Georgia. It costs something in most places. But showing up in a room full of people who see you, who say your name right, who refuse to treat your identity as a debate topic: that changes the math. Bring someone with you.
