Wow! What a Pride Weekend We Had!

All Are Invited to Experience Our Curbside Gospel Worship

Over a million people saw us in the parade (non-Lutherans have been commenting to me about seeing our contingent live and on TV) and hundreds of people visited our Full-Civil-Rights-For-All Themed booth. Over 200 new emails will be added to our database giving us a pool of now around 1500 people to invite to events, worship, etc. MANY THANKS to all of our volunteers who helped to make this weekend such a success with special thanks to Kenny Callaghan, Rick Eisenlord, and Pastors Jim Boline, Kenny Bowen Sue Devol, Don & Koepke who volunteered so many hours. Don has written up some great notes which I will be reviewing soon to get you more information and for help as we start beginning to plan for 2010.
