Glide Memorial Church Announcements

January 2025

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

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. 

GMC MLK

Sunday, January 19th, join us for special Celebrations at 9 and 11 am in honor of the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr (MLK).

GLIDE Together Sundays: Unity Day is taking place from 1pm-3pm on Sunday, January 19th. It’s our regular 3rd Sunday Social Justice Sunday.

Monday, January 20th, at 10:45 am join us at the MLK march from Cal Train Station to Yerba Buena Gardens. This is a significant acknowledgment of the historic struggle for justice and civil rights, led by and for African Americans who faced unimaginable atrocities at the hands of racist individuals and organized terror groups. At its core, this honors the fight against systemic injustice, the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., the legacy of GLIDE, the pivotal events in Selma, and the courageous contributions of both Black and non-Black allies who united in the pursuit of nonviolent justice and peace. This history is a testament to resilience, solidarity, and the unwavering demand for equality.

The annual march begins at 11:00am, and marchers are encouraged to arrive early. The Glide Ensemble will perform at the San Francisco Interfaith Council presentation the Great Lawn at Yerba Buena Gardens following the march.
