Pride Sunday

In our broader culture, LGBTQ Pride month is a time dedicated to celebrating Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer/Questioning (LGBTQ) pride and often happens in the month of June. This time honors the movement for LGBTQ rights and celebrates LGBTQ+ culture. Even though the Portland Pride parade was moved to July 16, we found June 18 to be the best day to celebrate Pride at our church. The Menno Pride committee has helped coordinate and plan this service to celebrate our belief that God’s radically inclusive love excludes no one. We hope to center the voices and experiences of LGBTQ persons in this service. Additionally, at the end of the service, our current MYF seniors are wrapped in quilts to be sent off with the love and support of their PMC family.
