Pride Month is Here!

At the heart of our faith is the belief the God loves each and every one of us in all of our rich diversity of race, culture, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, social and economic circumstances and abilities.

That's what we celebrate through our participation in community Pride events, and it's why we'll focus on five themes during the five Sundays of worship in June: Affirmation, Diversity, Inclusion, Justice and Equity.

in all of our diversityIt's time to step up and step out and let the community know that St. Paul's is an affirming and inclusive faith community that welcomes and embraces all people in God's rich diversity of race, culture, sexual orientation, and gender identify and expression.
