Glide Memorial Church (GMC) joyfully invites you to our Easter Celebration festivities this weekend. We will present a live reenactment of the documentary “It’s Recovery Time,” which chronicles the life and legacy of Rev. Cecil Williams. Cecil’s daughter Kim Williams will read the same benediction her father read during his last Easter at GMC. In honor of National Poetry Month, all Sunday services will feature our guest poet Dr. Jennifer Lisa Vest, a teacher and philosopher of indigenous healing. GLIDE’s clients will be invited to dine on a special Easter holiday meal of chicken-fried steaks, mashed potatoes, mushroom gravy, and collard greens.
The Glide Ensemble sang at the Giant’s Celebration of Life for Willie Mays. Barry Bonds and Spike Lee were chatting when the Glide Ensemble returned to the field and opened the event with two songs. Fire fighters danced and sang along with the Ensemble as they performed. Glide Ensemble Director, Vernon Bush, and Dennis Hersey sang solos. And more than one celebrity was observed filming and photographing the choir. Learn more >>
