- We celebrate Laity Sunday today! We lift up and give thanks for all the ways that each of you are in service and ministry - within the congregation and beyond. May God continue to gift you with all you need - strength, joy, skills, and more - as you respond to God's call.
- Lunar New Year Celebrations! We will celebrate the lunar new year together on Sunday, Feb. 7th. To best do so, we will worship in parallel with our Chinese Ministry brothers and sisters at 9:30 a.m. in the Annex. Following worship, we will feast potluck style. You are invited to bring a main or side dish (homemade or store bought) to share. The church will provide the dessert.
- Lent Begins on Feb. 10th - We will mark the beginning of the season of Lent on Ash Wednesday. You are encouraged to participate in a special worship service at 7:30 p.m. Our theme this year is "Community and Submission." We will reflect on questions about the kind of community our faith calls us to, and grapple with the spiritual practice of submission. Intrigued? We hope so. Worship will be followed by Sundays of Uniting Prayer (SOUP) - a time of sharing, prayer, and delicious soup. Please consider signing up to be a soup maker!
- Looking Ahead: The Bridges District Revival will be held on Saturday, Feb. 6, from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at Community UMC, 1875 Fairfield Ave., Fairfield. Lunch will be provided and child care available. Registration deadline is Jan. 27. Suggested donation is $15 per person. Shall we send a team?
- World in Prayer: You are invited to check out the following page’s weekly prayer from http://www.worldinprayer.org/. It will help us be in prayer for world events as they are happening.
