June is Pride Month, and across the Metropolitan New York Synod — from Putnam County to Patchogue — our congregations are taking to the pews and the streets to celebrate who we are. We are queerly beloved: a church where gay, trans, bisexual, queer, and nonbinary people can attend our liturgies, lead our worship, preach our sermons, pastor our communities, and serve at every level of our life together. Find out about Lutheran Pride events near you, and if you're in or around New York City, look for the Manhattan Ministerium and MNYS contingent in the NYC Pride Parade on June 28. (If you’d like to join us, there’s a few spots left. Learn more here and register here.) Whether you're marching, cheering from the sidewalk, or gathering for worship and celebration closer to home, we are glad you're here alongside us.
