All Saints Church in Pasadena will host a Friendsgiving potluck Saturday evening, Nov. 15, welcoming LGBTQ+ community members and allies to break bread together.

The event runs from 5 to 6:30 p.m. in Sweetland Hall at All Saints. It marks another gathering for the church’s LGBTQ+ Ministry.

Attendees can bring a drink or dish to share. The potluck aims to connect longtime members with newcomers.

The church describes the event as bringing together the “LGBTQ+ Ministry and wider All Saints family.”

The Friendsgiving potluck reflects a growing trend of faith communities creating inclusive holiday gatherings. Such events often serve as entry points for people seeking welcoming congregations.

Saturday’s dinner offers an opportunity for fellowship ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday. It provides a space for community building within the Pasadena church.
