Scenes from today’s screening of The Tallest Dwarf Doc.

The Tallest Dwarf follows filmmaker Julie Forrest Wyman as she searches for her place in the little people community and unpacks rumors of dwarfism in her own family. Through intimate stories, creative collaborations, and archival history, the film delves into identity and medicine, asking whether society should change people or the structures that limit them.

Deep thanks to Little People of America (LPA)’s DC chapter members for sharing their stories and perspectives with us this afternoon. 🙏

A joyful milestone for APC! Marti Miers Mefford shares exciting news on behalf of Session and the APC community. 🥳

We dreamed, we discerned, we filtered.

"Out of that process, the discernment group brought a recommendation to Session: Let's have Abby serve APC full-time. Session then followed that same careful process, with that same level of enthusiasm, and voted unanimously: yes.

This transition is a celebration not only of Abby's extraordinary gifts, but also of the growing impact of her ministry within our church and community."

Congratulations, Abby Madden! We are grateful for you and excited for this next chapter.
