Let’s keep the celebration going! Iowa City Pride Festival 2026 is on June 20, but on June 21 we’ll celebrate Pride Sunday! Join us at 8:15 a.m. on the front walkway for refreshments and glitter anointing, then stay for worship at 9:15 a.m.


Everyone is invited to dive a little deeper into the Gospel text assigned for each weekend. Grown-ups will get the chance to hear more from Pastor James, and talk with one another in small groups. Children Preschool through 8th grade will have the opportunity to explore the story through crafts, games, science experiments and more! Then, we'll all come back together and share a meal to end our time. Miss a week? No problem! There's nothing to prepare because each week stands alone, so don't worry if you're on vacation one week - you can still catch any of the other weeks!

Sharable Parables is FREE and sign-up is easy, too! Just let us know you're coming here: https://forms.gle/yEs2vgieWonmAkTB9.
