St. Thomas' will be celebrating Capital Pride Week with a week full of Pride-related activities.

Traditionally, several committees including Inclusion, Parish Life, and Communications come together to host and support the many activities that make Pride Week a success at St. Thomas’. This year we wanted to open up the funding by listing our expenses and allowing Parishioners to make direct contributions to fund individual projects.

Capital Pride Week is a unique opportunity for St. Thomas' Parish to share our message of radical hospitality with our neighbors in the Greater DC area. In the past we have attracted new members with our participation in the Pride Parade and the Pride Festival. These events give us a chance to tell and live our story –that we are a part of The Episcopal Church that is a welcoming place for all people from all walks of life. In the fullness of these news-worthy statements, we will be including an invitation to the broader community that all are welcome to the Service for the Affirmation of Couples in Committed Relationships, both straight and gay in our Parish Park.

You can also support St. Thomas' Parish during Pride by buying a teeshirt from our online shop. All teeshirt sales this month will go to support Pride. We will also be taking up a collection for Pride on certain Sundays using special rainbow envelopes.

Thank you for your support.
