St. Philip's Celebrates the Rainbow: First-Ever Pride Sunday!
On June 30th, St. Philip's was bedecked with rainbows inside and out to provide a special welcome to LGBTQ+ and Two-Spirit people and their families and friends as the church celebrated its first-ever Pride Sunday.
Many parishoners wore vibrant, colourful clothing as Rev. Lorne Manweiler led a festive Eucharist with prayers, music, readings and preaching affirming the dignity and worthiness of all children of God. The celebration continued afterwards in the church hall, with a coffee-and-cake reception.
