June 29, 2025 • Pride Sunday
“Choosing Hope”
Series: Summer Saints • Scriptures: Micah 6:6–8; Romans 15:12–13
This Sunday, we celebrate Pride Sunday—one of our most joyful worship experiences—as we explore how Harvey Milk’s journey from skeptical politician to prophet of hope mirrors the call we find in Micah 6:8—to do justice, love kindness, and walk humbly with our God. We’ll discover how Milk’s transformation from cynic to visionary exemplifies what it means to risk everything for a more inclusive society. While Milk’s advocacy for the LGBTQIA+ community was central to his efforts, the progress he made advanced the cause of inclusion for many other marginalized people groups. Through his witness, we’ll see how the “God of hope” that Paul writes about in Romans can fill us with the courage to stand up for justice even when the cost is great.
