Sock It To Me!: Sock Collection Drive: We're collecting new socks to support our neighbors experiencing homelessness in our community. Bring new socks (all sizes welcome!) and place them in the collection bin in the narthex. Donations of new or gently used jackets and sweaters are also welcome.
Dinner & Discussion on Religious Nationalism: Thursday, Nov. 20, 6:30-9:00 p.m., Heritage Chapel. Program starts at 7:15 PM. Join us for an evening of shared food and thoughtful conversation about one of the most pressing issues of our time — the rise of religious nationalism. Revs. Peter Cook and Neal Christie are touring Northern California to facilitate a dialogue entitled "The Weaponization of Hinduism in Northern California and the Relationships to Global Religious Nationalisms: An Interfaith Conversation and Response."
This event is sponsored by our friends at Incarnation Anglican Church, in partnership with The Religious Nationalisms Project (New York State Council of Churches) and the Indian Muslim Council of California. Dinner will be provided. An RSVP is required. Visit the ink at : https://secure.everyaction.com/RGSn5SpDjkahqTkXBA9GCg2

Advent Worship Series, From the Stump,, New Life - Restoration, Resilience, Rebirth: This advent we will listen again to Isaiah's vision of a shoot springing from the stump of Jesse and to Matthew's story of Christ's coming. Out of what seems lifeless, God brings forth new life. In a world that feels weary and worn, these ancient words call us to hope - to trust that God's promise still takes root, grows strong, and bears fruit.
