GLIDE Memorial Church Marks First Easter

GLIDE Memorial Church invites congregants, neighbors and the wider community to its second annual virtual Easter Celebration on Sunday, April 4, for messages of liberation and hope as a newly independent church. The morning's events will include a 6:30 am Prayer Circle with a live reading of the congregation's prayers from the week; and a 7:00 am Sunrise Celebration featuring the liberation stories and songs of the church. The Celebrations at 9:00 and 11:00 am will be a special blend of live and archival music from the GLIDE Ensemble and The Change Band led by music director Vernon Bush and a special liberation sermon by GLIDE's Minister of Celebration, Marvin K. White. The community is welcome to participate by sharing their own stories of spiritual and emotional resurrection in the interactive, live comments section of the broadcast, during a rousing morning of stories and song. Also included in the morning's festivities will be a downloadable PDF coloring book for the GLIDE Kids (and kids of all ages) created from images of Reverend Cecil Williams in his classic dashikis through the years, and a virtual Easter Egg Hunt for digital eggs throughout Celebration.
