The Bellringer: Ringing against Injustice

Tuesday, August 27, 2024

Dear friend,

Upward! is a straightforward yet profound course on Wesleyanism designed for everyone. It gently and methodically guides us through the distinctive aspects of the Wesleyan tradition—its theology, practices, habits, and attitudes that shape the Methodist Church community.

We’ll be focusing on the lessons of this book in worship and classes during the month of September. We’re planning on having classes on Monday (on Zoom) and Wednesday nights at 6, Thursday mornings at 11, and Sunday Mornings at 9 AM.

Tell us which class you’d like to attend.

Anti-Death Penalty Vigil

Join Tampa Bay area death penalty abolitionists for a vigil opposing the execution of Loran Cole from 5-6 PM on Thu, Aug 29 on the NW corner of Ulmerton Rd and 49th St N in Pinellas County. The execution is scheduled for 6 PM. Death penalty opponents have gathered here during executions for many years. It is at the intersection of two main roads in Pinellas County, and it is near the court and jail complex. Park in the vacant lot behind Checkers. We will provide signs, or you can bring your own. If the execution is stayed, the vigil will be cancelled.

Conversations on Acceptance
This Thursday at Allendale

Join us for a compelling conversation where we explore how choosing acceptance can alter our lives, Thu Aug 29, 7-9 PM in the Sanctuary at Allendale. Each of us has our own journey, and by sharing our experiences, we support one another. Be part of this important conversation—your voice matters, and together, we can be reminded of how acceptance can be a powerful tool for personal and collective transformation.

New “Blessed are the Woke” T-Shirt

This design was inspired by our 2023 Pride Parade float, a vibrant celebration of inclusivity and resistance. We created this shirt to proudly proclaim our commitment to equality and reject any efforts to silence or diminish our work.

Advocating for the marginalized and fighting for justice indeed makes us “woke,” and we embrace it as a blessing.

This shirt is only available to order online: www.allendaleumc.org/shirts
