June is Pride Month. The United Church celebrates Pride in the month of June. We encourage you to mark this time and celebrate the lives and ministry of LGBTQIA+ and Two Spirit people in all their diversity.

June is also National Indigenous History Month.  Celebrate National Indigenous Peoples Day on June 21st.   A time to recognize the rich history, heritage, resilience and diversity of First Nations, Inuit and Métis.   

Here is the declaration Rev. Lorraine read in church today..
As a Community of Faith, we affirm the following declaration which is being read in many faith communities during this Pride season. This statement is in response to the rising expressions of hate targeting the 2SLGBTQ+ community. 


Our faith community wishes to tell the 2SLGBTQ+ community that you are welcome here. Many voices have been attacking the Trans and Drag communities, and queer people in general. Today, we speak out in favour of inclusion and love. We believe that God loves all human beings, of all sexualities. Too often religion has been used to express hate, which leads to fear and violence. We condemn justifying hate in the name of religion. Today we add our voice to those of many faiths across the country to state clearly that you are welcome here. God loves you. We want you to be safe here where we worship, and everywhere you go. Let us remember that we are all the children of God, who calls on us to love and support each other. We wish you a Happy Pride celebratio
