Our Pride Should be a Promise

Worship Leader: Rev. Ian W. Riddell
Worship Associate: Joni Padduck

All of us, and especially those of us part of the LGBTQI+ communities have much to be grateful for and proud of as we see the changes in our world over the past years. But our work is not done. How can we imagine together the needs of today’s world? Whose pride—and safety and dignity—are we called to struggle for today?

Worship Leader: Ian Challis
Worship Associate: Peter Mathews

Worship Associate: Bob Rancourt
As we begin a new year, we set goals for ourselves. What are the standards by which we'll measure the success of those goals? What if rather than wealth or fame or having more stuff, we decided to measure success by the richness and lovingness of our relationships? What would be different if those were our criteria?
