The United Church of Canada affirms that gender and sexuality are gifts of God, and welcomes people of all sexual orientations and gender identities. Here at St. Luke's we strive to live this every day and will be celebrating these gifts with a special service and brunch.

St. Luke's United Church is holding a Pride Celebration Service on Sunday, June 4 at 10:30 am.  All ages service with songs, activities for the whole family and guest speaker, Barb Baxter, chair of Grace UC Affirming Committee. Barb will discuss the difference between welcoming and affirming.

Following the service there will be a brunch for everyone - breakfast casseroles, muffins, fruit, drinks and of course, a Rainbow cake! Collecting a freewill offering to cover costs and to support future St. Luke's Affirming Events.
