Hastings Pride Festival and Parade was a huge Success!
Thank you to all those who contributed to St. Luke's presence at the Hastings Pride on Saturday June 8th. We couldn't have made an impact without your help and dedication.
We made ourselves know at the parade with a huge and colorful float promoting "Love one another, No Exceptions!" At our booth at the river, we gave out free water and pride swag while talking about God's unconditional love and that St. Luke's is for inclusion of all people.
Thank you to all of you who donated money to help fund this endeavor, and thank you to everyone who volunteered. It was definitely a team effort.
A special Thanks to Katie Stokka and Scarlette Miller for organizing the event and making it happen.
