Who said we are the “Frozen Chosen”? We had a wonderful and joyful time together at yesterday’s Presbytery meeting. We are grateful for the commissioners and all who served on commissions.
We are especially grateful for Rev. Dr. Barbara Barkley as she discerns her call to serve as Co-Moderator of the 227th General Assembly next month.

Some of our leaders were walking, praying, singing, and bearing witness for a more peaceful and just world.

This year’s Interfaith Pilgrimage for Palestine gathered people of faith and conscience across the Bay Area to call for an end to violence, war profiteering, and military cargo shipments connected to the suffering of children and families in Palestine and beyond.

We are grateful for the commitment, courage, and spiritual leadership of those who participated in this public witness for peace, dignity, and the sacredness of life. May we continue building communities where justice, compassion, and hope are stronger than fear and violence.

“Divest from war. Invest in life.”
