Quote & Prayer of the Week
“Listen to God with a broken heart. He is not only the doctor who mends it, but also the father who wipes away the tears.” ― Criss Jami
Dear God, Please grant me the ability to listen to others with an open heart and mind. Help me to be present in the moment and to hear what others are saying without judgment or distraction. May I be a source of comfort and support to those who need it, and may I always be willing to lend an ear to those who need someone to talk to. Amen.
Loving God we lift up to you…

WOMEN’S SPIRITUALITY RETREAT May 3-5, 2024 The new location for our Women’s Retreat is Ponderosa Retreat Center in Larkspur (15235 S. Furrow Road). It’s a beautiful location set among Ponderosa Pines with sleeping facilities and gathering spaces within the same building. An extra plus: a chef who presents wonderful meals! Mark your calendar now!
Church Directory: One of the nice things about the program we are using for the photo directory is that we can update it at any time. I would like to update it so we can print the updated adenium mid. January. If you have questions speak to Pastor Matt.
Contemporary Studies Group: Is taking a break until the week of Feb. 12th but their Lenten Study will be on the book Questions Jesus Asked by Magrey R. DeVega
