The Park Church Co-Op (129 Russell St) is celebrating gospel music and community building with a screening of the 1982 documentary Say Amen, Somebody! and a bake sale on Saturday, August 18th at 7pm. Tickets to the film are $5, and there will be homemade baked goods for sale, with the funds going towards the church.
If you want to donate a baked good, you can sign up on this form.
The Park Church Co-Op (129 Russell Street) has been hosting weekday happy hours at local bars for neighbors to gather, get to know each other and chat about whatever is on their minds. The church will even buy your first drink (!), so this seems like a pretty low-stakes way to get involved in your local house of worship/performance space/community center. The next one is happening tomorrow night (8/1) at Goldie’s (195 Nassau Ave) at 6:30pm.
Back in 2001, Brendt Barbur got struck by a city bus in NYC while riding his bicycle. Seventeen years later his brainchild, The Bicycle Film Fest, sets up in nearly 100 cities around the globe and celebrates our favorite two-wheeled mode of transport in film, art and music. And, parts of this year’s phenomenal six day fest will be held in North Brooklyn! Read on for more details about what’s going on in our ‘hood during the event (including the free and open to the public opening night BBQ). Check out the BFF site for a full schedule of events.
