On June 11 at 9:30 am we will celebrate the third year of our “Living Up to the Rainbow” worship service. Each year in this special worship service we celebrate the diversity of God’s people and we affirm the sacred worth of all persons, not determined by their sexual orientation or gender identity, but by their identity in Christ. Through music and liturgy, we affirm the expansive love that God has for all persons and God’s call for us to do the same.
This service is marked with rainbows because the rainbow is a deeply significant symbol in the Bible. In Genesis, the rainbow represents the covenant of love God initiates with Noah after the flood:
12 And God said, “This is the sign of the covenant I am making between me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all generations to come: 13 I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth. (Genesis 9: 12-13).
