Join the Fun: July 4th Parade Hospitality & Bell Ringing!

Join the Fun: July 4th Parade Hospitality & Bell Ringing!

Help us welcome our Truckee neighbors this Independence Day

The 4th of July parade is a classic Truckee tradition, and because our church sits right at the end of the parade route, we have the perfect opportunity to welcome our community!

We are opening up our front sidewalk and lawn to greet parade-goers, and we would love for you to join us. We will be setting up a hospitality table to hand out refreshments, opening our doors to neighbors, and offering a unique Truckee tradition: the chance for kids and families to ring our historic church bell!

Whether you want to help host, hand out water, or just want a great spot to sit and watch the parade with your church family, you are welcome here.

  • When: Saturday, July 4th at 9:30 AM (Come early to grab a spot before the roads close!)

  • Where: Front lawn and sidewalk of Church of the Mountains

  • What to bring: Just yourself! We will have folding chairs available for everyone, but feel free to bring your own favorite camp chair if you prefer.

Let’s fill the sidewalk with friendly faces and warm hospitality. See you on the 4th!

Next Alpenglow Evening Service: Sunday July 5, 5pm

After a busy July 4th weekend of celebrations, family time, or mountain adventures, our Alpenglow Evening Service is the perfect place to land. It offers a peaceful, casual space to slow down, center your heart, and breathe before a new week begins.

Whether you are a lifelong churchgoer, someone searching for a safe space to heal, or a neighbor looking for community, you are welcome exactly as you are.

Gathering Details

When: Sunday July 5

Time:  5:00pm Gathering and Snacks - 5:30pm Reflective service

A Note on Our Alpenglow Rhythm: Our Alpenglow evening services take place on the 1st and 3rd Sunday of every month. It is our way of drawing the circle wide, ensuring there is a place at the table for everyone’s schedule and spiritual journey.

We can't wait to gather, breathe, and share the evening light with you on July 5. Bring your joy, your heavy burdens, your questions, or your quiet hopes - all of it is sacred here.
