Check out this report featuring our beloved Properties Manager, Doreen!

In just a few sentences, she says many great things, emphasizing our desire for genuine community with our neighbors. So grateful to Doreen for the opportunity to get to know our friends from the Masjid Al-Taqwa and this beautiful community that is willing to explore what it means to be a neighbor in so many profound ways.

Masjid Al-Taqwa was lost in the Eaton Fire

Jesus says that the mustard seed grows into the biggest plant in the garden "so that the birds come and perch in their branches" (Matthew 13:31-32).

These forums are designed to be worship-filled spaces where we sing, listen to experts on various topics, reflect in small groups, and be invited to respond in tangible ways.

This Thursday, March 19th, we invite you to hear from Rev. Dr. Alexia Salvatierra, Academic Dean for Centro Latino at Fuller Seminary (among many other things).

This is our final forum:

We are grateful to open our art in prayer room with a new installation by one of our very own, Joanne Doyle ! Started in the third century, the stations of the cross is a devotional practice of the church, inviting people to visit the sites of suffering where Jesus spent his last. Come and see, sit and reflect, worship and be transformed.

This morning, Pastor Steve preached about how disruptions wake us up to God's loyal love (khesed), and living out His love opens us up to His love. He referenced the ECC's resolution on immigration, published in 2014.

"They described themselves as an 'entangled church'-- entangled with their neighbors, entangled with other churches, entangled with community organizations working together working together for the whole community... they see themselves as 'a community drawn to love.'"

I am so grateful that our denomination's (ECC) President Tammy Swanson-Draheim got to witness and participate (aka get entangled) in our community.
