Writer’s Church: Every Sunday is also a celebration of art as a tool of resistance. We have Writer’s Church, and we have poetry that honors the art and practice of sacred storytelling. During our Sunday Celebration Writers Church you can start writing all the things you are grateful for with one of our free journals and pens that we pass out every Sunday.

The 1st Sunday of the Month is Communion Sunday. Those who are interested should stop by Freedom Hall (downstairs) after the 9 and 11 am Celebrations. We provide a diversity of communion elements to meet the varying dietary needs of Glide Memorial Church. Communion is available on the first Sunday of each month.

Sunday, December 1st Celebrations Honoring World AIDS Day– At 9 and 11 am we will honor World AIDS Day by acknowledging the lives lost and affected by the HIV/AIDS pandemic for over four decades. Though we have made huge strides in regards to HIV/AIDS, we are still not in the clear, as many continue to be disapropriotinally affected by AIDS-related illnesses and the stimga those letters carry. Our celebrations will stand as a memorial for the beautiful souls lost too soon, and a call for our continued journey to empower those communities most affected.

Marvin K. White, our Minister of Celebration, will be leading Celebrations, lifting up and gathering our community. The Glide Ensemble, Directed by Zoë Ellis, will sing songs that soothe our hearts. The Change Band will uplift and inspire with jazz and blues.

We will be celebrating light and love every Sunday in December. Join us Christmas Day at 10 am for an extra special celebration.
