Central United Methodist Church in Detroit has invited us to share in the festivities at Motor City Pride Festival again this year!
Booth Volunteer Signup
Saturday, June 7: 11 a.m. - 8:30 p.m. (3-hour shifts)
Sunday, June 8: Noon - 6:30 p.m. (2-hour shifts)
Staff the booth: represent our United Methodist Churches as you meet and greet the festival attendees. Share information, hospitality, support, and fun handouts! Please use the link and sign up for a shift online. If you have difficulty, please contact Erin: 313-563-5200, ext. 0
Please note that the first shift on Sunday the 8th conflicts with the Pride Parade, so if you want to march in the parade, you shouldn't volunteer for that shift at the booth. CLICK THE BUTTON FOR ONLINE SIGNUP, or call Erin in the DFUMC office for assistance: 313-563-5200, ext. 0
Sign up to march as a group in the parade on Sunday!
Sunday, June 8: Parade starts at noon; Line up at staging area by 11:30 a.m.
Central UMC is registered to march as a group in the Pride Parade on Sunday, June 8th. Ideally, we would carpool to Central UMC, and walk to the staging area from the church. Please be aware that it is about a 1/2 mile from Central UMC to the parade staging area and then the parade route is about 1 mile.
Organizers at Central UMC are encouraging and inviting anyone participating in the parade to eat a light lunch at the church before heading down to the parade staging area. The parade starts at noon, but our section of the parade is not expected to start moving until at least 1pm.
If you are interested in MARCHING in the parade OR WATCHING it with a group of Central UMC folks, please indicate that by using the link below.
What about Sunday worship at Dearborn First UMC?
The worship service at Dearborn First UMC will be a shorter, yet meaningful format (New members, Communion, Pentecost!), allowing time for people to get to the parade, should they wish to participate and/or watch.
If you are interested in participating, and would like to help arrange and/or be a part of a carpool, please contact the church office: 313-563-5200, ext. 0 or office@dearbornfirstumc.org.
