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.”
October is full of opportunities to get involved with Everyday Church and to bring others along. Please mark your calendar and plan to participate. For details, stay in the loop by participating in Sunday Gatherings; check back here often for updates (subscribe at right to receive updates automatically); or Contact Us. This is going to be a great month!

(Sun) Medieval Festival! Everyday volunteers will run the Welcome Center and “Ye Olde Baby-Changing Station” (trust us, neighborhood parents will be grateful).

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.
