All Central Valley Laity and Clergy are invited to a series of conversations in which we explore FRUITFULNESS OF PEOPLE AND PROPERTY in our local Churches. These conversations will be one hour long and will invite us to engage our HOLY IMAGINATIONS around how we bring out the best in our Church members, how we invite members of the community to join us in our love of Jesus Christ, and how we bless the community — and contribute to healing the world — by making use of our properties in such a way that income streams are established.

The first conversation will be this Saturday, June 6th at 8am

Friends of Wadi Foquin held its 17th Anniversary event on Saturday, May 23rd under the theme of "Steadfast Friendship and Spiritual Solidarity." Bishop Sandy Olewine stirred the sold out crowd of 150 persons with a passionate message calling on us to "disrupt" the flow of arms to Israel that has facilitated the genocide in Gaza and the annexation of land in the West Bank, including villages like Wadi Foquin.

Rev. Michael Yoshii shares details of the meaningful event at the link below:
