PRIDE

The NW Washington Synod has PRIDE!

We are proud to be a Reconciling in Christ synod and there are many opportunities for you and your church to join in and celebrate this month.

Seattle PRIDE Parade - We will be marching in the Seattle PRIDE parade again on Sunday, June 25th. If there are folks in your congregation who would like to march with us, we ask that you find someone in your congregation to be a contact person who will keep track of those from your congregations who would like to march. The deadline for registering to march in the Seattle PRIDE Parade is June 7. To register, email the contact listed below with your group info!

Cost is $15 per shirt and all proceeds will go to the synod LGBTQIA+ Ministry Fund. Orders must be in by June 7th to guarantee a shirt! Order shirts for your group HERE!
