The purpose of N.E.W. Pride is to enhance the lives of LGBTQ+ people in the greater Fox Valley & Green Bay regions by empowering people and organizations that share this purpose.

Through partnerships, education, funding, creating more opportunities for community connection, and raising visibility/awareness of LGBTQ+ issues, we strive to create a northeastern Wisconsin where all LGBTQ+ folk thrive.

Union Church sponsors and staffs a booth at the annual N.E.W. Pride Festival, which is held in the fall. This family-friendly pride event features fireworks, live music, a local history exhibit, drag performances, and more!

OPPORTUNITIES TO PARTICIPATE

• Connect with Pastor Bridget and other volunteers to plan the activities and materials for the Union Church booth.
• Set up and staff the Union Church Pride Alive booth for a two-hour shift, to talk with folks about why you love our church and that it really is Open and Affirming.
• Hand out pamphlets, candy and glitter blessings!
• Share a photo display of some Union LGBTQIA2s+ families.
• It’s helpful if those who sign up for the first and last shift could help set up/pack our booth materials.
