Hello all!
I have more information on what the Episcopal churches of the Ozarks are planning on doing for Pride. First, we will have a short service at St, John's with Holy Eucharist at 9am on Saturday, June 10th. This is to put us in the right mood and spirit. Then we will process from St, John's to the Municipal Court building where the Pride parade begins, the walk from St, John's to the Municipal Court building is only two blocks. We will be chanting while we walk from St. John's!
The Pride parade begins at 11am, with lineup starting at 10:30ish. I believe that our presence in the parade is the most important part! People don't typically associate churches with LGBT+ in a good way, this is our chance to show that we believe love is the way! The parade walk is not long or hard. If you do walk in the parade then I encourage you to make a cardboard sign or something that has a good message such as "you are loved" or something.
We also need volunteers at the booth throughout the day to chat with people, if you're interested in doing this or walking then let me know! Coolers with bottled water are also needed so if you want to lend one then get in touch with me!
Feel free to reach out to me if you have questions or you want to offer your support or time, text me at 417-598-9266 or email at davidbritt97@gmail.com
