Kenosha Pride Volunteers Needed

MPLC will have a booth at Kenosha Pride again this year, and we are looking for volunteers to help staff our table. It's very easy...you can wear your MPLC t-shirt or a Pride shirt, and chat with the people who come by. We answer easy questions about our church and hand out stickers, candy, and information about our location and worship service times. Mostly we just share that we are welcoming and affirming of ALL and get to know our LGBTQ+ neighbors a bit better.

The Kenosha Pride event will take place on Saturday, July 11 at Celebration Place at Harbor Park, 5501 Ring Road, Kenosha, from 12:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. If you're interested, please sign up at the link below for a 90-minute shift and join us! Questions? Email Kirsten Graves.
