Food Pantry Distribution Tops Another Record
1/25/22 - Volunteers did not even put out on Broadway our sandwich sign stating “Free Food” in both English and Spanish last Saturday. Nonetheless, we still broke another distribution record. We gave food to 218 heads of household for around 800 people. I have no explanation for the increase in clients, but food prices are rising, so that might be a factor. And, of course, I have no idea how many clients we will serve next Saturday. More? Less? Stay tuned! Read More.

Special Notice for Sunday Worship
1/5/22 - The worship team has made the difficult decision to postpone all in-person gatherings through at least February 6, due to the new information regarding the omicron coronavirus variant. Sunday's service will be livestreamed only; there will be no in-person congregant viewing or participation at this service. Similarly, groups or activities should not meet outdoors in person at this time and will be moved online.

Returning to Community Via Listening Circles
12/3/21 - Each of us has weathered the past months of congregational changes and challenges as best we could. Without a space or place to share our feelings and what’s weighing on our hearts, remaining in covenant, connectedness, and community has been difficult. As a first step to acknowledge what we’ve experienced, we are implementing a Listening Circle program to share our feelings. Learn more and sign up.

Safe Reopening
