🙏🏾 Loving Creator, who affirms us in all our colors, You are sacred in every name we call you. Your rainbow come, Your justice be done, Here on earth as it is in your heart.

Give us today the courage to be fully ourselves, And fill us with the strength of chosen family and unapologetic love. Forgive us when we forget our worth, As we forgive those who fail to see our light.

Lead us not into darkness or shame,
And carry us from hatred and fear.
For yours is the Reign of Love,
The Power of Pride,
And the Glory of Agape,
Always and forever.
Amen

-Julie Hapke, Naperville, IL

🙏🏾God of rainbows, as you set your rainbow in the sky upon sparing Noah and his family from the flood, embolden us to raise our Pride flags, dappled in the echoes of the rainbow you set upon the skies as your fingers delicately parted open the clouds, and your sandals kicked away the waters.

Embolden us in this flood, as LGBTQ+ folks and other minorities are stripped of their rights. Grant us the power to be the hands and feet which split the tempestuous skies of authoritarianism and kick away the waters of fascism. Employ us as conduits of justice, freedom and liberation. Amen.

From the Coalition. 🌈

Happy Pride Month from the Open and Affirming Coalition!

We pray that LGBTQ+ people, their families, and all who love them experience a month filled with safety, joy, community, and hope. In a time when LGBTQ+ people and other marginalized communities continue to face attacks, may we refuse to let fear, hatred, or injustice steal our joy.

You are beloved. You belong. Happy Pride! 🏳️‍🌈
