*Shepherding Ministry Sunday - We will celebrate the ministry of care and connection on Sunday, Apr. 17th. Our faithful shepherds - Brenda, Donna, Ed, and Jane - will share in worship. Following worship, please plan to stay for a special fellowship lunch and a time of community building.
*The Kumi Benefit Ride is rolling along, and needs your support. Check the bulletin board in the social hall for ways you can help, and encourage your friends to donate online at www.ycvm.org.
Help us "Brake the Cycle of Poverty" as we raise $30,000 for Kumi Christian Visionary School in Uganda. For details, see Burt, Ben, or Becky. We will be needing volunteers to transport riders and bikes back to Vallejo from Livermore at 4:30pm.
We hope to ramp up the use of the crowdfunding site. Let people know we are at the $8,000+ mark, and encourage sharing on Facebook and other social media. Churches that are participating along the route are: Wayside UMC, EastBay Formosan UMC, Grace UMC, Lynnewood UMC and Asbury UMC. If people want to come cheer on the riders at the lunch site (San Ramon) or the closing celebration at 3:30-4:30 in Livermore, they are most welcome!
