Backpack Sunday July 26
This is our annual gathering of school supplies for the Ritter Center kids. Please bring your donations to church on
July 26; they will be distributed to the kids at Ritter Center in early August, because the school start dates are early.
Here’s what is needed:
• New backpacks (boys and girls, high need for elementary school)
• Binders (small/large) and binder paper
• Tabbed dividers and zip pouches
• Pencils (#2/colored), pens, and erasers
• Glue sticks and index cards
• Rulers, staplers, and small scissors
• Markers, crayons, and highlighters
• Pocket folders and spiral one-subject notebooks
• Calculators (especially graphing calculators such as TI-83)
• Geometry drafting sets
There is always a GREAT NEED for department store gift cards and cash donations
Let your voice be heard!
The New York Times on Tuesday published a list of those shot by ICE so far in 2026. Almost two dozen dead and injured. Just this last week two people got killed who were not even the targets of an ICE arrest. It is heartbreaking to see these killings of innocent people continue. Below are the names and contact information to your local senators, who you can call to urge an ending to these ICE operations.
1. Senator Adam Schiff
Washington, DC Office: (202) 224-343
Or reach out through the Senator Adam Schiff Contact page.
2. State Senator
If your concern involves local law enforcement coordination with ICE, you may also want to contact your representative in the California State Senate:
- Senator Mike McGuire (District 2)
- San Rafael Office: (415) 479-6612
Protest Advocacy Script:
When you call, you can state:
"Hi, my name is [Your Name] and I'm a constituent from San Rafael, CA. I am calling to urge Senator [Name] to demand immediate accountability for recent violence and deaths involving ICE. Please block any further DHS funding that does not halt these enforcement abuses."
How Were the 1960's and 70's For You?
Historians consider the 1960's and 70's times of great change: Vietnam, Hippies and Flower Power, Marajuana, Love and Free Love, Music, Peace, Rebellion and The Silent Majority, reacting negatively to all of the above. "Get a haircut, Hippie!"
We were all there, but how was it for each of us? Were we carried along in the wave of rebellion against the uniformity of the 1950's? Or did we not notice because we were busy with other things? Or did we hate it all and want to return to a calmer time?
On Wednesday, July 29, at 6:30 pm on ZOOM, let's reminisce about those times. How were they for you? Did they affect you? We'd all like to hear about your experience..
