Tapestry is a ministry of the Pacifica Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA), dedicated to inspiring leaders and educating LGBTQIA+ individuals and allies. Through our retreat weekends, we foster community and deepen our understanding of Christ from a Queer perspective.

Tapestry was founded out of a desire to bring the joy and love of three-day movements to communities typically excluded from those events. As we started to organize and plan for our retreat weekends, we quickly realized that we were doing something new. So we spent two years prayerfully considering what we wanted to keep and where we needed to develop new approaches to how our retreat weekends unfolded. We also knew that we needed to do more than just our retreat weekends and set about with the intention of linking churches to speakers to help educate their congregations, as well as being present and active in the community.

Tapestry Retreat #3 is coming September 25-27, 2026!

This is our third retreat weekend and we look forward to sharing God’s love with our communities once more. Join us for a weekend of spiritual renewal. We will hear talks from LGBTQ+ clergy and lay leaders; spend time in small groups to reflect, connect and create; enjoy free time for creating, praying or holy rest.
‍
Arrival time is 5pm and a meal will be provided! Later that night we will have an open circle of getting to know each other and then proceed to a meditation before retiring for the evening. We wrap the retreat up on Sunday around 4pm. If you need assistance with travel, or have any other questions, reach out to us at info@tapestrypride.org.

Registration information is available here. Please register by September 19, 2026.
