The Rev Dr. Rick Schlosser
On Friday, April 18, 2025, we observe the 250th anniversary of the night Boston’s Old North Church hung two lanterns from its steeple to warn patriots that the British were coming and set Paul Revere off on his famous ride for freedom. The next morning, other area churches rang their bells in alarm as the troops approached.
In this time when resistance to tyranny, fascism, and discrimination is needed once again, join houses of worship and others across the country to ring bells for freedom!
