“I didn’t know there were churches who welcomed us!”
“Y’all being here means so much to us.”
“I needed this reminder today that I’m loved by God and the church.”
These are some of the comments we’ve heard from our LGBTQ+ neighbors attending the annual Underground Pride Fair at our booth. Many have experienced rejection from religious settings and are so grateful for our presence. Along with some other churches and synagogues, we show up at Underground Pride to be ambassadors for God’s love.
And it’s easy to do! Plus, it’s a lot of fun and there is really good food! We say hello to those who pass by while handing out water bottles, bubbles, buttons, and stickers!
Come for an hour or two or the whole festival! We will have a “Joy Lutheran” booth from 12-7pm. Help with set-up and take down is particularly needed! It will take about 20 minutes with a few people.
NEED: water bottles! If you are willing to donate water bottles for us to hand out, please reach out to Pastor Sean. Thank you!
