Planning for Your Future: Protecting Families in Uncertain Times

The legal landscape around marriage equality is uncertain, but as people of faith, we can prepare to safeguard what we cherish most—our families, homes, and legacies.

On Saturday, January 4, 2025, at 2:00 PM, Central Lutheran Church in Arizona City, AZ (conveniently located halfway between Phoenix and Tucson) invites you to an essential event: “Planning for Your Future in Uneasy Times.”

Aaron Fransua, Esq., an experienced estate attorney, will provide guidance and answer questions about how LGBTQIA2S+ couples can take proactive legal steps to protect their families. While the 2015 Supreme Court ruling granting marriage equality established over 1,100 federal and state rights for same-sex couples, new legal challenges raise concerns about its permanence. This event will focus on practical strategies for safeguarding rights, from estate planning to key legal documents that ensure family protection regardless of what lies ahead.

As Lutherans, we affirm the dignity and worth of all God’s children. This event is an opportunity for LGBTQIA2S+ siblings in Christ—and their allies—to act with wisdom and care. Whether you are just starting your journey as a couple or have built a life together for years, the time to plan is now.

Please share this invitation with your congregation, friends, and neighbors. We encourage all who are interested to join this crucial conversation and take steps to prepare for the future.
