Being Affirming means working for the full inclusion of people of all sexual orientations and gender identities in The United Church of Canada and in society. Kamloops United Church has officially been an Affirming congregation and a member of Affirm United for 20 years. We are always seeking ways to live into that responsibility and privilege, and on Wednesday September 28, we are invited to participate at Thompson Rivers University Students Union 5^th Annual Pride Parade. The TRUSU Pride Parade serves as an important celebration of the diversity of the Kamloops community, and raises awareness of the many issues impacting our LGBTQ2+ family, friends, colleagues and neighbours.

Kamloops United Church, Centre for Community and Spiritual Discovery will be at TRU on the 28th, with our banner, some information about our Centre and Affirm, and a full show of support.

Please join us at TRU on Wednesday, September 28 at 11 am in front of the Old Main building, at the Student Street entrance. Following some opening remarks, the parade around campus will take place. How great it will be to have many faces of KUC walking together!!     I you have any questions contact Chris Dolson.
