Thank you to everyone who came out in the frigid cold to show compassion and care for our neighbors. May the owners of El Potro and their employees who were arrested by ICE know that they are not alone.
Thank you to BLA Indivisible for the invitation to lead this impromptu gathering of our community.

Technically, September was Su***de Prevention Awareness month. But it's never a bad time to talk about preventing su***de.

URGENT - It appears that many of my church members have received a scam message from an email address that resembles mine. DO NOT purchase gift cards or send cash based on a an email or text message even if it looks like it came from me. I will never ask any of you to buy gift cards and claim that I am too busy to do it myself. This is a classic scam.
If you look closely at the email address, there is likely an extra letter or some other slight difference that will indicate that it is not from me.
