The event will now occur at Scripps College, Garrison Theater (231 E. 10th street, Claremont, 91711). Signs will be posted directing to the location.DETAILSPresented in celebration of OBSA’s 50th anniversary and the life and work of Dr. Martin Luther King, The Beyoncé Mass is a womanist worship service that uses the music and personal life of Beyoncé as a tool to foster an empowering conversation about Black women—their lives, their bodies, and their voices. Based on the scholarship of Rev. Yolanda Norton, the H. Eugene Farlough Chair of Black Church Studies at San Francisco Theological Seminary, this groundbreaking spiritual experience gathered over 1000 people at its inaugural event in San Francisco, and has also happened around the world. The mass is a chapel service that engenders positive, empowering conversations about Black women, and has become a highly recognized celebration of inclusion, the centering of marginalized experiences, social justice, self-care, self-reflection and spiritual connectedness. Its organization involves a live band, a choir comprised of campus and local community members, and a sermon by Reverend Norton. TICKETSFREE, registration is required for entry. Attendees can show their printed ticket, display the ticket(s) on a smartphone or provide the name used to register for entry.
