Pride

Congregation Kol Ami is excited to announce our participation in the following Pride events. Please join us! 

Interfaith Pride Service at Kol Ami
Thursday, May 30th • 7:00pm • Congregation Kol Ami
The Pride Interfaith Worship Service has kicked off the Pride Festival for more than two decades. It is a time of celebration, reflection, prayer, memorial, music and love as the many faith traditions that are expressly welcoming to and fully inclusive of the LGBTQ+ community come together to "queer faith" in the hope that our arms might open wider still. This year's theme is "Queering Faith."
