PRIDE SUNDAY, JUNE 11: St. Michael’s invites you to join us for our own celebration of June as PRIDE month. On Sunday June 11, we are inviting the community to be with us as St. Michael’s celebrates PRIDE Sunday. At both the 8:00 am and 10:15 am services, our worship and liturgy will reflect the joy of our diversity as human beings and the sermon will include reflection and witness from Janet Cramer.
In addition we will host a special 9:00 a.m. Forum on “What is it like to grow up gender fluid?” led by Jake Mattson and his family. An 11-year old member of St. Michael’s, Jake will speak to us about his experience of not having a fixed gender identity. Jake, who lives in Colrain, Massachusetts, often speaks at schools and other public venues to help people understand gender fluidity. The PRIDE services and Forum are a great opportunity to invite friends from the community to join us.
