Members of ELCA congregations in central Ohio invited to be part of the 2016 Gay Pride Parade, June 18

Once again, the Reconciling in Christ congregations in Central Ohio (First English, Gethsemane, Trinity, Lord of Life, Redeemer) will be gathering in an ELCA witness at the 2016 Gay Pride Parade in Columbus on Saturday, June 18th, with the step-off at 10:30 AM.  This will be our 4th year to participate in the parade.  Last year we were approximately 100 marchers strong - people of all ages.

This year our T-shirt color is orange.  Previous colors have been blue, red and purple.  Marchers can wear shirts from previous years or purchase a new one for this year.  The shirt front reads "Evangelical Lutheran Church in America" and the back, "there is a place for YOU HERE."  Cost: $10.00, available in men's sizes XS-4XL.  To order t-shirts and to register for the parade, contact Pastor Leslie.  Mail checks made out to Redeemer Lutheran Church, 1555 S. James Rd, Columbus, OH 43227-3405. 

Email any questions to pastor@redeemerluth.com.  Everyone who registers and/orders a shirt by June 1st will be contacted prior to the march in regard to all logistics.
