Celebrating Pride
Who better to quote than Lady Gaga during rainbow season! This weekend marks LGBT Pride, also referred to as Gay Pride or simply “Pride,” here in Indianapolis. Major cities worldwide will celebrate some form of Pride event this month, chosen to align with the month of the Stonewall Riots in New York in 1969.
Expect to see rainbows everywhere this weekend. Across faith traditions, the rainbow symbolizes God’s promise to love us, building up rather than destroying, and promoting love rather than hatred. We will explore how we can create inclusive communities and invite others to participate in the promise of love during Sunday’s sermon.
This weekend, show your PRIDE and join us by sporting the rainbow!
