Storm Mountain Service TripSave the dates: August 7-12Details to come June is PRIDE Month As a reconciling community, we believe in the inclusion of all people &#8211; all made in God\u2019s image &#8211; and celebrate the uniqueness that is each person. Reconciliation means to remove the barriers that have separated people from the wholeness of relationship. We acknowledge that the church has often failed to remove such barriers and has been the one to put barriers in the way. Our hope and prayer is to truly be the Body of Christ, together in communion, reconciled to one another. If there are ways we can continue to remove barriers, we want to learn. Pride celebrations will be taking place on June 25th and 26th, including a UMC booth for reconciling congregations. For additional resources and information, we encourage people to check-out\u00a0minnesotamethodists.org.\u00a0 Be part of Twin Cities PRIDE, June 25 &amp; 26!Each year, MN Reconciling Congregations has a booth in Loring Park where we greet PRIDE visitors, hand out rainbow peace medallions and let people know that there are United Methodist congregations who welcome LGBTQ+ persons!\u00a0Please help staff the booth by signing up for a two hour shift on Saturday or Sunday.\u00a0 Go to\u00a0ttsu.me\/4zejnb\u00a0to select your shift.\u00a0If you haven&#8217;t volunteered in the booth before, an experienced lead will be there to help you.\u00a0Reconciling Congregations will also be in the PRIDE Parade on Sunday morning, beginning at 11 a.m.\u00a0Watch for information about where to\u00a0gather to walk in the March.\u00a0 Please contact sign-up coordinator Judy Jerde with questions: \u00a0jaj@hopefultravelers.net\u00a0or 612-414-4779.\u00a0 She appreciates your help to get the volunteer schedule filled! LGBTQIA+ ResourcesAs our hope and prayer is to be the Body of Christ, together in communion, reconciled to one another, we know there is much learning to do. The Minnesota Methodists (www.minnesotamethodists.org) have created a wonderful list of resources that engage a host of topics (www.minnesotamethodists.org\/learn-more) from Apologetics to Allies and Parents to Worship. We encourage everyone to continue learning and growing as we continue to be a reconciling community.
