The Bellringer: Ringing against Injustice

Wednesday, May 14, 2025

Dear friend,

Our new “Kindom” Pride shirts are now available for preorder!

If you’re local to Allendale, place your order now on our preorder form to avoid shipping costs. We’ll place a bulk order at the church and notify you when your shirt is ready for pickup at Allendale. This preorder window will close next Sunday, May 25, at 11:59 PM, and shirts will arrive roughly 1-2 weeks after that.

Not local? No worries! Starting Monday, you’ll be able to order from our online store to have your shirt shipped directly to you. You can also choose from additional styles like tank tops and long sleeves.
