October 27th is Writers Church Sunday – Amanda Johnston, Texas Poet Laureate Special Guest Speaker

In 2024, Amanda Johnston was named an Academy of American Poets Laureate Fellow. Through her project, Praisesong for the People: Poems Celebrating the Heart and Soul of Texas, Johnston will commission seventy poets across seven regions of the state to write poems celebrating everyday Texans.

Glide Memorial Church’s Sunday Celebrations support writers. Every week we pass out small notebooks and pens to those joining us in-person, and invite our at-home church to write using the instrument of their choosing. offering four writing prompts for self-paced free-writes. We invite people to write stream of consciousness, and not hold back the writing that comes tumbling out.  On the fourth Sunday of each month, we have a full Writer’s Church, with writing prompts throughout the Celebration.

Our weekly Sunday Celebrations are 9:00 and 11:00 am.  You can join us online, through our livestream on Facebook and YouTube.   Dial in by Phone (855) 412-3177.  Or, you can join us in person at 330 Ellis Street, in San Francisco’s historic Tenderloin District
