Pilgrim Congregational UCC has participated in Pride activities for decades. We carry our huge Pride flag in the Pride in the CLE March and host a booth at the Pride Festival, where we have given out thousands of Beanie Babies. Church members recently made our flag more inclusive by adding black, brown, pink, blue, and white stripes.

Besides the Pride March and Festival, we typically host a Pride service and invite other UCC congregations and the wider community. We celebrate Open and Affirming Sunday in worship the last Sunday in June. Members have volunteered at the Queer Prom sponsored by the LGBT Center of Greater Cleveland and attend other Pride events around the region.
