Last month, we received two kitchen boxes donated by St. John's Episcopal Church through their Project (Re)Start. These boxes were donated to 2 different clients of Butte CARES that have just become housed!

Project (Re)Start is an initiative by the Episcopal Diocese of Northern California to develop standardized bins containing essential household and personal goods to help victims after the initial days of a disaster. These bins are distributed free of charge to anybody who has been displaced, is establishing a household in a rebuilt residence, or has experienced forced relocation. This provides interested congregations a way to provide tangible support to victims.

Thank you to the local congregation at St. John's who provides Kitchen boxes and have been kind enough to offer their assistance to our members in need!

August is Make-A-Will Month! By preparing your will today, you can secure lasting care for those you love, including your neighbors at St. John’s.
To support you in this step, we’re sharing a free, secure online tool called FreeWill that allows you to create or update your will in about 20 minutes. Join us on Saturday, August 22 from 9 – 11 am in the PLC for a dedicated time to take advantage of St. John’s partnership with FreeWill.
We will provide coffee and childcare so you can have the space you need to get your will made or updated. Our Planned Giving Committee will be there to help you navigate the site; but please know that your decisions will be private and that we cannot and will not give any legal or financial advice.
We will continue our relationship with FreeWill through May 2027. So, you will have time to talk with your loved ones and trusted advisors to consider your decisions.
What to bring:
• A trusted loved one
• A laptop
• A list of successors, executors, assets, and account numbers

Our hearts are troubled by the shooting this afternoon at the Chico public library, and they break at the loss of two lives. May God give comfort and courage to those filled with sorrow, fear, or outrage - and strength to library staff, first responders, and hospital staff. May our community come together in support of the families and each other.
Together we pray: Keep watch, dear Lord, with those who work, or watch, or weep this night, and give your angels charge over those who sleep. Tend the sick, Lord Christ; give rest to the weary, bless the dying, soothe the suffering, pity the afflicted, shield the joyous; and all for your love's sake. Amen.

Today we celebrate the Ascension!
Almighty God, whose blessed Son our Savior Jesus Christ ascended far above all heavens that he might fill all things: Mercifully give us faith to perceive that, according to his promise, he abides with his Church on earth, even to the end of the ages; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, in glory everlasting. Amen.
