Through this year, we have held supportive gatherings for people and families in the LGBTQ+ community, provided educational and letter writing materials, made PRIDE buttons, served pie on PIE (Public, Intentional and Explicit) Day, worked with High River Pride to host a Rainbow booth for the Little Britches parade and supported their initiative for the Rainbow Crosswalk by The Venue.
We have lived our commitment to be an oasis of inclusion in this community:
Rooted in the love of God & grounded in the teaching of Jesus, High River United Church is a community of help, home, hope and healing. In the spirit of Jesus' radical love, we open our hearts and doors to be a safe community where no one feels alone. We celebrate all people in the full spectrum of gender identity, sexual orientation, ethnic identity, color, race, age, ability, mental status, family composition and social and economic circumstances. We are committed to making space for all to fully participate in the worship and work of our community. adopted May 15, 2021
As we enter a new year, we renew our commitment to continue to grow in our understanding of what it means to be welcoming, inclusive and compassionate following the example of Jesus.
