The Bellringer: Ringing against Injustice

Wednesday, October 23, 2024

DearĀ friend,

Can you believe we’re already approaching the end of October?

This Saturday is our annual Trunk-or-treat in the parking lot. Decorate your car for Halloween and welcome little ones as they dress up and trick-or-treat! The event will be held from 10 AM to noon in the parking lot near our marquee sign.

We’ll have prizes for the best-decorated trunk and several costume contests throughout the event.

This is one of our best opportunities to connect with our neighbors. Let us know if you would like to decorate your trunk… www.allendaleumc.org/trunk

Conversations on “What’s Next?”

Join us for an engaging community conversation hosted by TransNetwork on Tuesday, November 12, from 7-9 PM. We’ll explore the theme of “What’s Next?”—what comes after social transitioning, medical transitioning, and what lies ahead for the trans community as a whole. Together, we’ll reflect on the journey ahead in our fight for justice, acceptance, and equality. These conversations are meaningful and supportive spaces where your voice matters. All trans individuals and allies are welcome to participate in this important discussion
