Peace with Justice Sunday
June 16th
We will join United Methodists across the country in celebrating Peace with Justice Sunday on June 16th. Together we will collect a special offering to support peace and justice ministries here in California (including a ministry with homeless youth in Palo Alto), across the country (for example border communities in Arizona and education about sex-trafficking in Pennsylvania), and around the world (learning about social justice issues in Liberia).  Please give generously to this offering. If you can’t be with us in worship you can give here.

Belong Circles begin June 26th
Beginning on June 26th we will host Belong Circles with Faith in Action Bay Area. These circles (which will meet June 26, July 10, July 24, and August 7 — note the August meeting will be hosted at a different location) will bring people together from across Redwood City to explore things like where do we come from, why are we here now, and how we can be in relationship with one another across our similarities and differences. The evening program begins at 6:30pm! Contact Katiemgoetz@gmail.com for more information.

Native American Ministries Sunday
Sunday May 5th
Since 1988 United Methodists have celebrated Native American Ministries on the third Sunday of Easter. When you give to this special offering 50% of your giving remains in the CA-NV Annual Conference to support Native American Ministries in Northern CA and Nevada. The other 50% of your offering supports scholarships for Native Americans attending seminary and the Native American Urban Initiative. Please give generously to this special offering.
