Our CARAVAN Summer Youth Mission team has been hard at work in Oroville and Paradise, helping communities recover from the devastation and trauma of the Camp Fire that burned a whole city to the ground back in 2018. We’re grateful for the ongoing work of Presbyterian Disaster Assistance and its partners in the area, and awed that we get to be a part of God’s healing in the world.

The whole team is eager to share what we’ve seen and learned throughout the week — out the people whose lives were transformed by tragedy, about our own lives that have been touched by God’s grace. We hope that you’ll join us in worship to sing, pray, learn, and to hear stories about what God is doing in the world!

In Christ’s love,

Rich

Please join us immediately following the Sunday service for our Coffee Hour

(in-person in Trinity Court or online via Zoom).

The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous,

and his ears are open to their cry.

The face of the Lord is against evildoers,

to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.

When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears

and rescues them from all their troubles.

The Lord is near to the brokenhearted

and saves the crushed in spirit.

If you remove the yoke from among you,

the pointing of the finger, the speaking of evil,

if you offer your food to the hungry

and satisfy the needs of the afflicted,

then your light shall rise in the darkness

and your gloom be like the noonday.

The Lord will guide you continually

and satisfy your needs in parched places

and make your bones strong,

and you shall be like a watered garden,

like a spring of water

whose waters never fail.

Your ancient ruins shall be rebuilt;

you shall raise up the foundations of many generations;

you shall be called the repairer of the breach,

the restorer of streets to live in.
