Food Pantry Volunteers Needed Saturday Morning, June 24
We are short volunteers for this Saturday’s LMUMC food pantry. Please consider lending a hand from 8am to 10am, June 24th. Please sign up so we can plan ahead. Sign up here.
Come Ride the PRIDE BUS!
Sunday, June 25, 8AM
Epworth United Methodist Church
Come help the Reconciling Committee advertise Epworth (and/or your spiritual group) as we march (and roll) through San Francisco Pride.
The bus picks up at the church at 8AM. It will take us to San Francisco to participate in the parade. You can get out and hold signs with us or sit in the comfort of the bus the whole time, enjoying being part of the parade. If you don’t want to ride in from Berkeley so early, just meet us there by 11AM.
The bus returns to Epworth in the afternoon. There are bathrooms on the bus.
To purchase a seat on the bus:
2. click on “Donate to Epworth”
4. From the drop down menu choose Pride Bus 1 ticket ($40)
7. Repeat for additional tickets
*$40 covers the cost of the bus but we have “Pride Angels” able and willing to cover any difference so Pay What You Can.
This Pride Bus is not just for LGBTQIA members but very much for allies too. Come show the world how inclusive our church is!
