We are looking forward to PRIDE month in our Kentuckiana area and in our congregation. There are lots of opportunities coming up for Highland to love our neighbors, be strong allies with and alongside the LGBTQ+ community, and share with others about who we are as a thinking, feeling, and healing community of faith.
