In the foreground, two women hold a large white hand-painted banner that reads "UNION CHURCH ❤️s TRANSCENDENCE." The woman on the left wears a dark top and a bright pink patterned skirt, while the woman on the right wears a rainbow-striped tank top and dark shorts. In the background, other attendees are visible, including some wearing colorful clothing and pride accessories. An ice cream truck and coastal buildings are also visible behind the group.
'AT THE HEART of it, God is love.' ❤️
Union Church, a #Methodist / #URC partnership in Margate, shows how faith and inclusion go together. From welcoming #LGBTQ+ people to hosting art trails (even a visit from Madonna!) they’ve become a creative hub for all. 🏳️🌈✨
