Pride Sunday and Juneteenth
2026-06-14 10:00 - 11:30 | St Luke’s Church, 410 N Main ST, NY, 14701, United States
St. Luke’s is pleased to welcome Bishop Eugene Sutton on Sunday, June 14 at the 10am service, as our guest preacher and celebrant as we gather to mark both Pride Sunday and Juneteenth. The convergence of these observances creates a meaningful day of worship, learning, and reflection as we celebrate God’s liberating work in human history and in our own lives. Bishop Sutton currently serves as Senior Pastor at Chautauqua and as an Assisting Bishop in the Diocese of Washington. He previously served as Bishop of Maryland, where he became widely known for his thoughtful leadership, pastoral presence, and commitment to justice and reconciliation throughout the Church and wider community. The convergence of Pride Sunday and Juneteenth invites us into an important and holy conversation. Both observances call us to reflect on human dignity, freedom, belonging, and the ongoing work of creating communities where all people are recognized as bearing the image of God. They remind us that liberation is not simply an event in the past, but an ongoing call to truth, healing, and faithful action. In addition to preaching and celebrating at worship, Bishop Sutton will lead our Adult Forum at 9am and speak on the work of reparations. Throughout his ministry, he has engaged deeply in conversations surrounding racial healing, historical truth-telling, and the Church’s role in confronting the enduring consequences of injustice. Reparations work extends beyond financial considerations; it also involves memory, relationship, accountability, and the difficult but hopeful work of repairing what has been broken. This will be an opportunity not only to hear from a gifted preacher and teacher, but also to engage questions that continue to shape both the Church and society today. We encourage everyone to join us for as we work to foster God’s reconciling work in this world.

An Evening with Rumi

This year, in observation of World Refugee Day, New Neighbors Coalition will host an Evening with Rumi on Thursday, June 18th at 6pm in the St. Luke’s Undercroft.

We will focus primarily on the first story of Rumi’s Masnavi, Book I, using the Nicholson translation, as well as a couple of his shorter poems. Rumi’s words have traveled across borders and through generations, speaking to feelings of longing and connection for millions of people across cultures and languages. This intimate conversation will explore themes of resilience and belonging, while recognizing that the experience of displacement, and the search for home, is one that has shaped human history for centuries. A translated PDF of the first story from the Masnavi, and one of Rumi’s shorter poems from Divan-e Shams can be found for anyone interested in reading them ahead of the event here. No preparation or prior reading is needed. This will be an informal, guided conversation centered on selected passages from the first story of Rumi’s Masnavi, Book I, with space for shared reflections and discussion. Light refreshments will be served. For questions, please contact New Neighbors Coalition Director, Momina Di Blasio, at momina@stlukesjamestown.org.
