The Bellringer: Ringing against Injustice

Friday, August 4, 2023

 

Dear friend,

This Sunday we’re bringing back an interactive element from one of our most popular services during the covid lockdown. Choose your own adventure!

This Sunday, come ready with your phone as there will be several opportunities for you to help choose what we cover in the sermon and music for worship this weekend. We’re going talk about Jesus feeding the 5000.

For the first part of this Sunday’s “choose your own adventure” worship service, we’re going to have a hymn sing! Folks are voting on what hymns we’ll sing with a poll over on our Facebook page.

5th Sunday Drag Gospel Worship

On months that include 5 Sundays, the drag community leads Allendale in music. This service on the 5th Sunday of July was one of celebration, joy, and healing.

As Mr. Vyn said, “Never again did I think I would be able to walk back into a church, offer my gifts, and celebrate who I am.”

Watch the service here!

We’re looking forward to our next 5th Sunday coming up in October!

Blessing of the Backpacks

This Sunday we will hold a special time in our service for students and school staff of all ages to bring up their backpacks, briefcases, or any school tote to be prayed over for this school year. We value the hard work and ministry of our teachers and administrators, and want to celebrate their impact.
