Intergenerational and free events on the 3rd Friday of every month, organized by the Affirm Committee of the United Church in Comox.
“These events are a gift to the queer community to encourage the creation of intergenerational gatherings and sharing that build community and are fun and engaging. Because of their historically negative history with churches, many members of the queer community have a warranted concern around church sponsored events. Consequently, the Rainbow Gatherings are held off-site, and specifically have no proselytizing or evangelizing permitted, or carried out, at these events.”See our calendar below for the next Rainbow Gathering.
