✊🏾 Join Us for a Day of Action: Economic Blackout and Sunday Worship

Happy Friday Reader,

Today, we stand at a pivotal moment—a day marked not just by our routine schedules or personal tasks but by a collective action that speaks volumes.

As we participate in today’s 24-hour economic blackout, we embrace a powerful form of advocacy. This initiative is more than abstaining from shopping; it’s about making a statement on the value of diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Why is this important?

This blackout challenges us to reflect on the societal structures that influence our daily transactions and interactions.

It is a moment for us to come together, harnessing our collective economic power to spotlight the importance of DEI. This principle is core to our beliefs and actions as a community committed to justice and equality.

To understand more about today’s economic blackout and its implications, please read this USA Today article.

As we continue to make meaningful impacts through collective actions like today’s economic blackout, we also gather strength and encouragement through our weekly worship.

Whether you prefer to pull up in person or log on from afar, Mars Hill Anywhere is ready to welcome you with open arms this coming Sunday.

✅ Pull Up or Log On for Sunday Worship

Whether you join us in-person or online, we can’t wait to worship with you!

📍 In-Person Worship

🗓 Sunday, March 2, 2025

⏰ 10:30 AM Central

📍 7941 47th St, McCook, IL

Why attend in person? If you’ve been feeling disconnected, distracted, or need that face-to-face encouragement, joining us in person helps you fully engage, worship without interruptions, and experience the power of community.

💻 Online Worship

Can’t make it in person? No problem! Worship with us from wherever you are:

📺 YouTube Live: Clarence Stowers TV​

Why attend online? Life is busy, and sometimes getting to church isn’t possible—but that doesn’t mean you have to miss out. Online worship allows you to stay spiritually connected no matter where you are. You can participate in the service, comment, and still be part of what God is doing at Mars Hill Anywhere!

However you join us, ensure you show up—your presence matters!
