Rich discussion tonight during our Lenten Program: Prayer in Times of Great Fear. Thank you to Rev. Michael Lemaire for leading us! #LeaningintoLent

Feasting? Check. What an amazing Shrove Tuesday dinner! Fire? Check! We gathered palms people had kept since last year’s Palm Sunday, and burned them down into the ashes we’ll use tomorrow as we enter into Lent. We’re ready! Thanks to all for a joyful evening, and especially to the Men’s Group for hosting the dinner.

Thank you to all who showed up last weekend for the help harvesting oranges and lemons. It was a beautiful morning, well spent, donating 244 pounds of fruit to the Contra Costa Food Bank.

Big thanks to all who stretched to be generous in supporting Stephen, Holly and baby Bruce after they lost their home in the Palisades fire.

The vineyard is such a beautiful part of our campus. Thanks to all who came out to prune the vines today. May your work strengthen the health and structure of the vines so they can continue to bear fruit.

Scout Troop 405, which we have sponsored for more than 60 years, is about to celebrate two new Eagle Scouts! The congregation is warmly invited to join in the Court of Honor for Connor and Xander on Saturday, January 25th at 5pm in the Sanctuary. Many of you have already enjoyed Connor’s Eagle Scout project,…

Awesome turnout at the MLK march in San Francisco!

“God is love, God gives us life. We love because God first loves us. In baptism God declares that love; in Christ God calls us to respond.” – the New Zealand Anglican Prayer Book Such a blessing to gather around the baptismal font on Sunday for Asher and Barrett’s baptism.

We thank you, Almighty God, for the gift of water. Over it the Holy Spirit moved in the beginning of creation. In November we celebrated sweet Cassien’s baptism. Join us this Sunday as we gather around the font again to baptize Barrett and Asher.

Left? Right? Rotate clockwise? This is the universal sign for “please tell me the wreath even AND centered!?!” We’re just about there! Thanks so much to everyone who stuck around to help make the church beautiful and get all ready for Christmas.
