St. Columba Catholic Church – Memorial Crosses Ceremony

St. Columba Catholic Church 6401 San Pablo Avenue, Oakland, CA, United States

Because the crosses in front of Church represent homicides in Oakland year-to-date, we must respectfully remove the crosses on December 31 st so that we can begin again in January placing crosses in the Memorial for the New Year. Please come and join us in prayer for those who tragically died as the result of violence during this past year and show our support to those families who have experienced extreme grief from losing a loved one to homicide. The service is simple in structure: we gather in Church for some prayer and comments by some of those present.  We then proceed to the front garden and the name and date of death of each victim is spoken aloud as that cross is removed from the Memorial and handed to the victim’s family, if present, or to any member of the congregation.  When all of the crosses have been removed, we process back into Church and lay the crosses in front of the altar.  Family members of the deceased who have received crosses may keep them as a remembrance of their loved one.  The service ends with some concluding prayer. Please join us for this important and powerful expression of St. Columba’s compassion […]

NYE: Watch Night Sing at GLIDE Church

Glide Memorial Church 330 Ellis Street, San Francisco, CA, United States

Looking for a unique and special way to celebrate New Year’s Eve? Join us at GLIDE Church on December 31 for NYE Watch Night Sing, a joyous opportunity to bring community voices together to sing in the New Year with good intentions and loving hearts through instantaneous song and celebration! What is the NYE Watch Night Sing? For some of us, New Year’s Eve is best experienced as a time of reflection, a time to contemplate the old year passing and the birth of a new one, an opportunity to come together and set intentions within a sacred and safe space with fellow community members. This year, GLIDE Church is offering a space for this, in the hours leading up to midnight, in the form of nonstop creative circle-singing and spoken word in the Church sanctuary. Community members are invited to come and go throughout the experience, as GLIDE Ensemble Director Vernon Bush and other facilitators offer up their inspirations within the circle of singing. This is a radically inclusive, all-out fun, reflective and creative event for everyone! Sing or listen—There’s no experience or sound equipment necessary, just voices singing in the sanctuary Interact with makeshift altars created by the […]
