N orth P ortland P ridefest S eeks O rganizations P ortland PFLAG C haffer S ets A pril M eeting University Park United Methodist Church will play host to a Pride event the Sunday before Portland Pride and is interested in hearing from businesses and organizations that might want to get involved. North Portland has a large sexual minority population and is seeing a large number of new queer folk moving to the neighborhood. The church’s council members want to do everything they can to welcome and encourage queers to come to North Portland. They are hoping that by playing host to the event at a church, they can send a message to queers that faith commu nities are also about them while sending a mes sage to other faith communities that queers are welcome, encouraged, included and sought after by some communities of faith. The event will take place from noon to 4 p.m. June 12 and will feature a barbecue and music. The church is located at 4775 N. Lom bard St. Darcy’s Restaurant & Bar across the street will play host to some after-party specials, as alcohol is not allowed on church property.
