Sing Out This Summer with Your Favorite Hymns!

A faithful reading of Galatians 5 invites us to reject fear-based, exclusionary interpretations and instead embrace life in the Spirit as a path of love, freedom, and community transformation for all people.

This Sunday, as a community of faith, we come together at The Episcopal Church of St. Mary Magdalene and St. Martin to celebrate Pride Sunday. This is a special day where we recognize and honor the LGBTQ+ community, reaffirming our commitment to diversity, inclusion, and love. The Episcopal Church has a proud history of supporting the LGBTQ+ community. Since the 1970s, The Episcopal Church has been at the forefront of advocacy for inclusion and equality. In 1976, the General Convention declared that "homosexual persons are children of God who have a full and equal claim with all other persons upon the love, acceptance, and pastoral concern and care of the Church." This pivotal declaration laid the groundwork for the Church's ongoing commitment to equality. Over the years, The Episcopal Church has continued to affirm the dignity of every human being, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity. Our liturgy is a celebration of God’s love for all people, and this Sunday, we will sing hymns that reflect our inclusive values. Among these hymns is "Draw the Circle Wide" by Mark A. Miller. This beloved hymn invites us to open our hearts and extend our circle of love, compassion, and acceptance. The lyrics remind us of the power of inclusivity, urging us to "draw the circle wide" and "no one stands alone." Other hymns to be sung include "There's a Wideness in God's Mercy," which reminds us of the boundless love and grace of God for all creation; "All the Colors of the Rainbow" by Carl P. Daw, celebrating diversity and the beauty of God's creation; and "I Am the Bread of Life," which brings us together in unity and spiritual nourishment. Join us this Sunday as we celebrate Pride Sunday with open hearts and open arms. Let us come together in worship, song, and reflection as we continue to strive for a world that reflects God’s love and justice for all. We look forward to rejoicing with you in this special service. Welcome, all, to a place of belonging and hope.

Sts. MM&M partners with the Coral Springs Police Summer Camp to provide weekly food bags and daily snacks for at-risk youth, showing our faith in action by feeding both bodies and spirits all summer long.

Pride Sunday is not just a celebration of LGBTQ+ identity—it’s a bold theological affirmation that in Christ, no human difference can separate us from belonging. Rooted in Galatians 3:28, it proclaims the Church’s call to embody radical welcome, justice, and unity for all people.

How we will sing combining both Juneteenth and Holy Trinity Sunday

As Trinity Sunday approaches, we turn to a surprising voice in Scripture—Holy Wisdom, calling out from Proverbs 8. Long honored in both Jewish and Christian traditions, this feminine figure of divine presence offers us a powerful window into the relational and joyful nature of God.

Honoring Pride Month is not about politics or cultural trends—it is about living out the Gospel.
