The Bellringer: Ringing against Injustice

Wednesday, April 30, 2025

Dear friend,

This past Sunday, we celebrated a powerful Drag Gospel Worship, and we are so grateful to everyone who showed up with open hearts. A special thank you to the incredible queens who shared their gifts, their stories, and their leadership, helping us experience worship in its full, vibrant beauty. Pastor Andy’s message reminded us that resurrection is about coming out — stepping boldly into who we are, in all our paradox and sacred defiance. Thank you for helping us build a church where glitter and confetti on the sanctuary floor is a sign of the Spirit at work.
