Belle Meade UMC's Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee is excited to share some important Nashville community events happening in June. The Nashville Pride Festival will be held at the Bicentennial Capitol Mall State Park in downtown Nashville on June 22 and 23.  The Pride Parade is free to attend and begins at 10:00 a.m. on the 22nd at 8th and Broadway. We will help other area UMCs to serve communion Saturday and Sunday. You can sign up here. If you got a t-shirt from the UMC churches last year, please wear it. If you did not get a t-shirt, free ones will be handed out at the event. Please reach out to Mary Laurens Minich at mary.laurens.minich@gmail.com if you are interested in attending as a group to cheer on those marching in the parade.
