KEY CHANGE EVENT

We are very excited to announce a collaborative event, taking place on Friday, June 7 at 7:30 p.m. at Eden United Church.

Key Change is an entertaining and informative exploration of the dynamic and challenging process of accepting one’s true identity, coming out to family and friends, and what it’s really like to live as a trans woman in today’s world. In a complex world, Christina’s journey shines as a symbol of hope, strength and unity. Hear her story, embrace diversity, and celebrate what makes us human.

The evening will include a 50 minute talk, a Question and Answer period, and a Meet and Greet with refreshments.

Tickets may be purchased by etransfer to emucdonation@outlook.com (Please include KEY CHANGE in your message and your email address if you require an acknowledgement) or from Joanne Hines after church on Sundays.
