CR Pride Vice President Susan L and a team of faith leaders have organized a Pride Interfaith service.
Allied and supportive spiritual leaders from the area have committed to creating a space of healing, affirmation and unconditional love.
As the LGBTQ community, we know how deeply many of us have been hurt by the messages which we often heard from our religious organizations and continue to hear. This service is an opportunity to experience acceptance as you are and who you are today. Join us! June 14. 3 pm. Cedar Rapids Public Library in Beems A&B.

Pride Ride
Join local cyclists for the 9th Annual Cedar Rapids Pride Ride. It's a great way to celebrate Pride with friends and family!
They will meet at New Bo City Market @ noon and bike together through downtown. Then they will return to the Market and bike the trail South. Some will go to Ely (for lunch or ice cream), but all abilities, speeds, & distances are welcome.
Fine print: This is an informal event. Come and go as you please. Be proud. Celebrate your uniqueness. Ride at your own risk. Shine love. Bring your friends. And for the love of all things good, wear a helmet.
