This Father’s Day service will blend the values of faith, hope, and love, as Chip Harriford shares stories of fatherhood, the importance of Juneteenth, and his connection to the Charleston Nine.
June is Pride Month. It’s a month to recognize and accept this diverse community that is characterized by a shared culture, social movements, and a focus on individuality. An introductory discussion for the month begins with recognizing how people are different and why that’s okay. Each of us is born in a different time and place and has a different heredity and environment. The product of the choices made by those factors makes us who we are: Free to be you and me.
