One of the most public witnesses to God’s love for all people and for our strong desire to reflect that love, is our faith family’s participation in the LGBTQ Pride events each summer. Pittsburgh’s Pride events will take place Saturday–Sunday, June 8–9, and this year, there are four opportunities to show solidarity and represent our church.
