Once a year in the summer MIND members and supporters gather without an agenda to not have a meeting. The goal is fellowship and fun, and of course, food! It’s a chance to restore our souls, get to know each other a little better and rejuvenate for the work we all do bring about the day that the UMC finally welcomes and embraces God’s LGBT children as equal to heterosexuals.
We hold this picnic in a different district every year and this year it’s Long Island West, so we especially encourage those of you in Nassau, Queens and Brooklyn to join us. But this being a MIND event, we invite everyone to come!
The picnic is Saturday, July 24, from 1 to 5pm at Park Slope UMC in Brooklyn. PSUMC is at 410 6th Ave, easily accessible by subway and car. Go here for directions.
[UPDATE: we are dedicating the picnic to Josh Noblitt, the fight for safe space — in our parks, in our churches and everywhere — and the work of building the Beloved Community. This comes after Noblitt and his partner were attacked for being gay while having a picnic in Atlanta’s Piedmont Park. Picnics to reclaim public space are being held July 18 in Atlanta, Washington DC, Chicago, Columbus and Houston. More on the story here >>]
