JUNE ELDERS REMEMBER A PROUD MOMENT!

(And perhaps one we’d rather forget)

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 24 6:30 - 7:30 PM


Looking back, what have you done in your life that, thinking back on it, makes you feel really good about yourself? And, after we’ve enjoyed that time, and things around it, if we like, a time we remember and cringe.


On Wednesday evening, June 24, 6:30 over Zoom, we will share an event or time in our lives that we are especially proud of, and if we want, something we’re less happy that we did or participated in. Join us to learn more about your fellow congregants and become closer to them. We'll meet on Wednesday evening the 24th at 6:30 over Zoom. Please join us.

Pillow Sunday

The Board of Mission will be collecting pillows for Homeward Bound on June 28.This is something that has been so much a part of our congregation's commitment to outreach for many years. It brings joy, both to the givers and to receivers.

 

If shopping for pillows presents a hardship, please let a Mission Board member know. Thank you for your continued commitment to Homeward Bound's mission. Let's see how many pillows we can provide for beds and for weary heads to rest!


Volunteer opportunity

The Canal Alliance (supporting immigrants) is looking for people who are willing to drive immigrants from San Rafael to Santa Rosa to get fingerprinted. The appointments are usually just about 20 minutes. If you are able to help out, please let Pastor Elisabeth know. (Volunteers will need to be screened and receive training)
