The Bellringer: Ringing against Injustice

Friday, May 31, 2024

Dear friend,

It’s time once more for the annual hanging of the inclusive Pride colors!

This Sunday, we kick off Pride month with guest preacher Rev. Dr. Angela Yarber, author of Queering the American Dream! Stick around after the service for a discussion on the book!

Beginning the day the Supreme Court ruled her marriage legal, Angela Yarber’s queer little family traversed the American landscape for two years in a camper named Freya, following in the footsteps of revolutionary women from history and myth. Amid her wanderings, this queer clergywoman grapples with the loss of faith, addiction, death, parenting, and what it means to reimagine the so-called dream promised to so many. With unapologetic grief, humor, and radical imagination, she creates a new dream, not just for herself, but for all marginalized people living in America.

DISCERNING A MINISTRY ROLE:


Save the date for August 16-18 for a special discernment with Deaconess Megan Hale. Deaconesses and Home Missioners are laypeople who are called by God to be in a lifetime relationship in The United Methodist Church for engagement with a full-time vocation in ministries of love, justice, and service. Together, they alleviate suffering, eradicate causes of injustice and all that robs life of dignity and worth, facilitate the development of full human potential, and share in the building global community through the church universal. This is for those curious and seeking to serve the church more intentionally as a layperson. Learn more and register at www.allendaleumc.org/dhm
