Walk with us at Charleston Pride!
Second Presbyterian Church Pride Walk & Lunch
One of the coolest and most significant things about Charleston is not just the beautiful Palmetto trees or our mutual distaste for mosquitos, but our diversity. This diversity is on display right here in Second Presbyterian Church!
We are a multi-ethnic, inter-generational, affirming church growing and evolving to joyfully face the challenges of a world so in need of Christ's teaching, love and inexhaustible grace. We are unapologetically inclusive and this inclusivity is a direct reflection of the Kingdom of Heaven.
As great stewards of God’s work, promoting Jesus’ love for all, our session has unanimously decided to participate in the 2019 Charleston Pride Parade on September 14th - six weeks away!
Starting at Wragg Mall on Meeting Street and ending at Colonial Lake, we ask for the delight in both your encouragement and support in joining other members of this church in a 1.8 mile walk promoting love and unity, in the spirit of reflecting that our house, being God’s house, has no borders, bounds or walls, and that truly all are welcome.
Registration is just $15, which goes directly toward church t-shirts and food for a lunch hosted at the church at the conclusion of the parade. Other participating congregations will be invited to the lunch and it will be open to the community, so the meal will be a wonderful time of fellowship.
If you would be so called to join us on the walk, at the lunch, or through your support, please sign up!
