About the event
FPCHC is excited to again be a sponsor for the annual HoCo Pride Festival, and to show our continued affirmation of the LGBTQIA+ community. The HoCo Pride Festival “is a vibrant, family-friendly event that brings together people from all walks of life to celebrate diversity, promote equality, and foster a sense of community.” We want to send a clear message to the LGBTQIA+ community that they are loved and cherished by God and are welcomed by our congregation without judgement. Our church’s goal is to create a welcoming space where everyone can feel proud of who they are and who they love.
Tickets are free, but you must register in advance. See the Events tab on the HoCo Pride site https://www.howardcountypride.org/
