The Rev. Susan Karlson, pastor, will be in the pulpit for the 10:45 a.m. service. Kate McDonough, lead organizer of Empire State Pride Agenda, will address the congregants.
"On this pre-Valentine's Sunday, we move beyond the binary code that only sees a person in terms of male or female," reads an e-mail from the church.
"Join us for this celebration of love, compassion and understanding beyond the binary system."
A church member will perform a monologue written by playwright Lawrence F. Schwabacher and various speakers will share their experiences regarding gender issues. A panel discussion will follow.
The church is at 312 Fillmore St. For additional information, call 718-447-2204 or visit the web site
