HALLELUJAH SUNDAY was a thanksgiving service held on the first Sunday of every month. It was based on the story in 2Samuel 6:4-22 when David brought back the Ark of Covenant from the house of Obededom into the city of David.

In this story, King David humbled himself and danced before the Lord with all his might: he became a fool for God. Borrowing a leaf from David, Pastor Eskor encouraged the congregation at the City of David to become fools for God on thanksgiving Sundays by wearing comical outfits and generally dressing down as a sign of reverence to God. On more than one occasion he himself wore a linen ephod and led the congregation in “playing before the Lord” (2 Samuel 14:21). Halleluyah Sunday was a time of high praise and worship when the congregation danced and thanked God for His past faithfulness while looking forward to another month filled with His goodness.
