Pride Worship Service

Program Details

Join us on Sunday, September 27th from 10 am to 11 am for an inclusive Pride Worship Service in the Christian tradition. This celebration will conclude the Trans Support retreat at Rolling Ridge and will declare that that God's love is wide enough for everyone. As followers of Jesus today, Christians are called to embrace those who find themselves on the margins of society or rejected by religious institutions. Through word and song, we will welcome all to the table of Christ and walk in love as a community of faith.

Worship will be led by Rev. Renee Manning and team.

There is no charge for the Pride Worship Service but please let us know you are coming. You are invited to add lunch ($25) and join the fellowship around the table following the service.

The Pride Worship Service in the Christian tradition is part of the Trans Support Summit and Retreat. Click here for more information on the full weekend.
