We will be wearing t-shirts with the ‘Love Your Neighbor’ logo on front, each participant church in a different color of the pride rainbow: Trinity (red), University (orange), First (green), Saint John’s (blue). Order shirts from Joy Butler – joylbutler@gmail.com.
T-shirts are $10 per participant. Register by Sept 1. Or, you can wear a shirt that is one of the colors of the rainbow. If your church is not participating, you are still welcome to march with us!
