The Everyday Garden

Oct 1, 2011 | Community Impact

Wow. We feel honored and flattered. We never expected Inwood Academy to name that little corner where we spiffed things up and painted a mural after Everyday Church. It’s such a joy for us to partner with people who teach neighborhood students– this kind of recognition was the furthest thing from our minds. But there it is. Here’s a few photos from the dedication of “The Everyday Garden.”

Ye Olde Baby Changing Station

Sep 30, 2011 | Community Impact

You read that right. Everyday Church’s contribution to the Medieval Festival this Sunday, 10/2, 11:30am-6:00pm, will be a clean, private place for parents to take care of their soiled little ones. If you’ve ever tried to change your baby’s diaper in a Port-O-Potty surrounded by a crowd of knights and princesses, you’ll understand how appreciative neighborhood parents will be for “Ye Olde Baby Changing Station”! We’ve also agreed to run the Welcome Center for this event. Every year, some 40,000 people throng to Ft. Tryon park for medieval costumes, jousting, live Quidditch matches (not kidding), and all kinds of games and activities.

Why the Medieval Festival? There isn’t much we value more than relationships, and this is great opportunity to make some friends. This is also a free event, and we think there’s justice in anything that enriches the lives of all residents, both rich and poor. We want to support this sort of thing when we can.

And, well, some of us just like to dress up.

This event is a ton of fun. If you’ve been meaning to investigate whether Everyday Church is a good fit for you, come find us at the Welcome Center or “Ye Olde Baby Changing Station.” We’d love to chat. Or if you’d like to spend two hours volunteering with us to help provide a great event for our neighbors, just Contact Us for details.
