LPUMC Prepares for PrideFest: June 26-27

Once again, LPUMC will have a booth at the annual gay and lesbian PrideFest in Tower Grove Park. This is an outreach event for our congregation. We want the LGBT community to know:

As a people of faith, we recognize the diversity of people created in the image of God. As a congregation, we welcome people of any age, gender, race, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, health status and any element of humanity created by God.

As usual there will be representatives of other churches near the park spreading a different message. We hope to be a positive force at PrideFest. We will be sharing information about the ministries we have here at LPUMC and inviting anyone who is interested to stop by for a visit. What can you do?

It is simple. Volunteer to staff the booth in the park on Saturday or Sunday. Everyone is welcome! We will answer questions about our ministries, how they can get involved and assure them they are welcome. Well need two volunteers per shift, two hour shifts, starting at 11, 1, 3 and 5 both days.
