Rio Texas Methodist Federation for Social Action

The Southwest Texas Conference Chapter of MFSA and the Reconciling Ministries Team collaborated to sponsor a group of 244 United Methodists in the 2012 Austin Pride Parade on Saturday, September 22.  Members of seven UMC churches – First, Grace, Saint John’s, Trinity, and University in Austin; Journey in Round Rock; and Travis Park in San Antonio – wore shirts in the colors of the rainbow to show our support .  The parade attendees gave us a very warm welcome.  Thanks to Joy Butler for organizing the group!  See more photos on our website – http://www.flickr.com/photos/swtexasmfsa.
