An Important Note from Golden Ears United following the region’s outreach of support for their Drag Brunch Fundraiser:
“Golden Ears United Church thanks you for your support; tickets are SOLD OUT.
We ask that for the safety of both performers and attenders that you not come unless you already have a ticket.
There will be no ticket sales at the door.
If you don’t already have a ticket, please support us from your home, by holding us in prayer for a peaceful event.”
It is good to hear these clear limits and boundaries from Golden Ears United; physical ally-presence is not requested.
Please share this up-to-date information with sibling-allies: Don’t make your way to the church venue if you don’t have a ticket!
Blessings,
The PMRC Office
Friends, another of our communities needs our collective help.
Siblings in Christ at Golden Ears United Church are hosting a fabulous ticketed fundraising event … DRAG BRUNCH! Nestled in a lower-mainland community that shares geography with loud and aggressive so-called Christian activists and organizations, Golden Ears shines a bright light of Belonging, Liberation, Justice, and JOY for 2SLGBTQiA+ folks in their area. In the weeks leading up to their event, Golden Ears UC has been subjected to a barrage of anti-gay, anti-drag, anti-trans actions and trolling because of their positive, inclusive, All-Ages event.
As queer folks and allies alike, the PRMC invites you to show your support to Golden Ears United.
Here are some ways of allyship that may work for you:
- If you are in Maple Ridge, buy a ticket to Drag Brunch!
- Send an supportive email or mail an encouraging card to the Golden Ears United Church Office (22165 Dewdney Trunk Rd, Maple Ridge BC, V2X 3H7).
- And no matter where you are, take this quick moment to do some Affirming algorithm activism:

You’re lifted in prayer and known in community, Golden Ears United! Amen!
