New Members Celebration
We hope you all will join us for our worship Service this Sunday, July 26, when we will receive new members
to our congregation. Please come and be part of these special moments in our church.
There will be a celebration luncheon after church.
Backpack Sunday July 26
Picture the first day of school. Some kids walk in with a brand-new backpack and shoes— everything they need. Others walk in hoping no one notices what they don't have. That gap between showing up ready and showing up worried is what the Rtter Back-to-School Backpack Program closes.
This year, they are aiming to give 200 kids in Marin that same feeling of walking in prepared: a fully stocked backpack, and a $100 Target gift card so parents can choose the clothes and shoes their child actually needs.
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
Remember the Food Bank Barrel
Please continue to bring in non-perishable food items. Canned goods, chili, peanut butter, cereal,
tuna and canned meat, rice, pasta are always welcome. No glass please.

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..
