Where is the church in such a time as this? We are here.

From the statement: The Rev. María Jiménez de Ramírez, executive secretary of the Synod of the Iglesia Presbiteriana de Venezuela (IPV), also known as the Presbyterian Church of Venezuela, described the lived experience of communities as marked by anger, confusion, anguish, and indignation. She said that while the Gospel proclaims light, hope, and peace, these can only be meaningful where justice is present. Rising fuel prices, daily uncertainty, and confusion about unfolding events make it critical that churches inform communities, resist fear, and ensure that people feel seen and supported.

Eyewitness accounts underscore the realities of fear and resilience. Berla Andrade from the Presbyterian Church of Venezuela (Iglesia Presbiteriana de Venezuela) recounted life near Caracas, hearing bombings and helicopters while the ground shook. “The pastoral embrace of the church becomes essential,” she said. Solidarity from churches around the world, she added, has strengthened communities’ resolve to organize, resist despair, and feel part of a wider body beyond Venezuela’s borders.

The WCRC notes that these challenges are not unique to Venezuela. We are reminded that imperial systems that prioritize occupation, domination, control of resources, and the preservation of global privilege over human dignity are theological and moral challenges.

You are invited to join us for worship on Christmas Eve for a service of light, word, and song. Wednesday December 24th, 5PM.

If you are new to us, we are a small congregation. Our sanctuary is simple. Our worship style is traditional but our congregation is casual.

We welcome kids in all their vivaciousness in worship. But we know that isn't always what they and their families prefer, so we also offer childcare for ages 3-13. (Parents can bring younger children to the playroom, too, but are asked to help chaperone children ages 0-2.)

Everyone is welcome to stay for a potluck after service. Friends, guests, visitors -- there is always plenty even if you don't bring something.

We hope to see you, for all are welcome. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🎄

FRAUD ALERT! It has come to our attention that someone is spoofing my email and sending out text messages posing as, me, Pastor Jenny.

Please remember I will NEVER solicit assistance directly from you. I will always recommend that money for fundraisers be directed through the churches and/or that we coordinate meeting at the building face to face. If you are ever in doubt, call my cell and/or check directly with Pastor Tom at SA as well. Nothing will ever be secret or urgent.
