Echoes turns 10 and makes a zine with the theme 10!

Why would a church make a Zine (handmade magazine)?

Because if liturgy is the work of the people, and zines include the art of the people, then why not combine the two and make a liturgy of the people!

In the Spring of 2023 we set out to make our 6th zine for the community of Bellingham in time for our anniversary at Bellingham Pride in the summer ofJuly! We handed over 80 of them (and over 100 of our Pride zines) while tabling at Pride! We were delighted to share our art, writing, collages from our community specifically at Creative Church. We had a submission from a kiddo and from a neighbor who we have helped keep out of homelessness.

Here is from the Intro:

X
10 years.
A Decade.

We were founded at Bellingham Pride in 2013 and since then, we have been spreading love and fighting christian intolerance as a reminder that hate has no place here in Bellingham, wa or anywhere.

As we reflect on our 10 years we wonder

how do we mark time?

What difference does a decade make?

how can we be encouraged?

what will the world be like in 10 more years?

we hope this zine pondering on the theme of 10, X, A decade etc. will get you thinking about how you are

observing time

passing time

or just

taking it one day at a time...

Special Thank You to Torie for helping to put together the zine!
