St. John’s on the Lake United Methodist Church will again serve as the Presenting Sponsor for the 28th annual National LGBTQ Task Force Gala, scheduled for October 19, at the Miami Beach Convention Center. St. John’s on the Lake, led by Reverend Kipp Nelson, Florida’s first openly LGBTQ commissioned clergy member, exemplifies a progressive, inclusive congregation. Their active engagement in local social justice issues reflects a commitment to the queer community. This partnership highlights the Task Force’s ongoing collaboration with faith communities, promoting a narrative of inclusion and support. Tickets for the gala can be purchased at thetaskforce.org/task-force-gala/. #Queer Up Religion
