Millions wear purple on Spirit Day as a sign of support for LGBTQ youth and young adults, and to speak out against bullying. Join us today as we celebrate our LGBTQ family and friends, and renew our pledges to support them along their journeys. This service is a multi-gen “Action Sunday,” where children remain in the short service with their families, then all ages split into activities for the remainder of the “worship time.”
