This is a fun opportunity to be an affirming faith community within a space full of LGBTQIA+ joy. Some of our newer members found us at PRIDE! With the targeting of trans and nonbinary folks in our country, now is the time to celebrate queerness and remind people that God's love is much bigger than the gender binary. We will have a button maker for folks to make their own pronoun pins or button designs of any kind, as well as stickers, temporary tattoos, and information about Spirit of Grace and Queer Grace.
Please consider spending an hour or two at the booth this year! We could really use some help in the later part of the day. Remember to wear your Spirit of Grace T-shirt if you have one! Sign up here!

Join children's ministry leaders to explore food poverty and how small acts done in great love can affect change. We will read the book Lulu and the Hunger Monster while we enjoy a sack lunch at church. The book emphasizes how children who experience food scarcity are all around us, but can be difficult to recognize. Equipped with a deeper understanding and compassion, we will then travel to a grocery store to purchase snacks for our local Title-I neighborhood school. (Children ages 0-5 with parent/guardian participation. Children ages 6 and up are welcome to attend without parental supervision, though parents are always welcome.)

Join us for a special worship service — Beyond Inclusion, Celebrating the Gifts of Neurodiversity in Worship. We'll explore how autistic and other neurodivergent perspectives enrich our understanding of God and our worship experience. We'll move beyond familiar ways of creating a welcoming space, recognizing that the unique perspectives of neurodiverse worshipers are essential to the body of Christ and enhance our expression of worship. We’ll also offer sensory fidget tools and an art table for multisensory engagement during the service, providing alternative ways to connect with God. Come and experience how our differences can build a more connected community and faith!
This service will be preceded by a community potluck from 9:45-10:30.
