Celebrating Pride Week
Daily Events June 22 – June 28, 2026
St. Paul's is proud to join our community in celebrating Pride Week, June 22–28, 2026, while also marking a significant milestone in the life of The Episcopal Church: 50 years of affirming LGBTQ+ people in the life of the Church.
Throughout the week, we will gather for fellowship, learning, worship, and celebration as we honor God's love for all people and our ongoing commitment to being a welcoming and affirming community.
The week begins Monday, June 22, with an Ice Cream Social at the Fayetteville Public Library and continues with a variety of events, including Rainbow Bingo, a documentary screening and discussion on Homosexuality in the Bible, a presentation by author and speaker Colby Martin, participation in the Trans Parade and Pride Parade, and a community Pride Picnic.
On Sunday, June 28, Colby Martin will lead our Adult Forum at 10:00 a.m., followed by a special Pride Eucharist at 5:30 p.m. as we give thanks for God's boundless love and celebrate the diversity of God's people.
Whether you have participated in Pride events for years or are exploring these conversations for the first time, we invite you to join us. Pride Week offers opportunities for fellowship, education, reflection, advocacy, and worship as we celebrate the good news that all people are created in God's image and beloved by God.
