Rio Texas Methodist Federation for Social Action

Austin’s Pride Parade is a wonderful outreach and witness opportunity.  It is a special moment during the year when we come closest to living out our global church’s motto, “Open Hearts, Open Doors, Open Minds”.  Join us to show off YOUR Pride!  Together we can show the world how many United Methodists care about loving AND including ALL of God’s children in our church!

We join with the SWTX Reconciling Ministries Team and individual churches for our Austin Pride Parade effort.  Last year we counted 244 United Methodists with us in the 2012 Austin Pride Parade, most of whom were from our SWTX Conference.  This year we invite ALL Reconciling United Methodists (RUMs) to join us!  Even if your church is not participating, we have a spot for you!  FAMILIES ARE WELCOME.  Last year our participants were ages 2 to 88.  We have cars for those who are unable to walk the route.
