God Is Good!

Thank you to all that made our 3rd 5th Sunday: Worship In Action event a success - from the Outreach Committee, our EPFH Liaison, Mark Matthys, our many helpers including our art crew, the Fellowship Committee, and everyone who put in their muscles, their creativity and their energy on Sunday! 

Together, we made over 275 boxes to send back to EPFH for home delivery. That means that 275 individuals, neighbors, who are unable to travel to pickup food, were able receive food in our community.

And, the Outreach Committee invites all who would like to help with the next 5th Sunday event to contact Susie Hobson (suzanne.h.hobson@gmail.com); from the work of choosing a partner, to the details of setting up particulars, we need your help and input!

Tres Rios Border Foundation - PC(USA) on the US-Mexico Border

Image
Dear Friends, It’s an honor to serve as a Presbyterian Border Coordinator in partnership with Abara Borderland Connections. My wife, Melissa, and I have four children and our family lives on the US-Mexico border in El Paso, TX. I’ve served as a pastor and non-profit leader for over twenty years between major cities with an emphasis on justice, solidarity, and empowerment. Throughout our journey we continue living, working, and learning in marginalized communities. At the invitation of PC(USA), we're in process of listening, connecting dots and relationships, and laying groundwork to launch a new Tres Rios Border Foundation. May we invite your team or Missions Committee to prayerfully consider the following ways to engage? I look forward to connecting with you in the near future and please do not hesitate to reach out to me if I can serve you in any way. PAZ, Nate D.

Adult Sunday School - December 3

Dear Class Member,  This week we take the opportunity to think about the sacred aspects of living an "ordinary" life that is faithful to God. What’s an Ordinary Christian Life will be the topic of our next class on Sunday, December 3 at 9:00 am.   If you wish to start thinking about our topic in advance, here is the lesson.  What's an 'Ordinary Christian Life'?  In the News  Because The Wired Word is a news-driven discussion guide, we frequently build lessons on major news, especially when it occurs in the United States. But some weeks, U.S. news that is truly major seems scarce (especially when, for the most part, we don't address political stories, which many TWW subscribers tell us they prefer not to use). A scarcity of major news seems to be the case at the time of this writing.  That could all change in a moment, of course, but for this moment, the flow of news seems to be fairly ordinary. You know that major news is in short supply when the leading s...

Adult Sunday School - January 21

Did it ever occur to you that perhaps Christianity is not the cure or fix for every problem? A recent article argues that "Christians Can't Fix the Israel-Hamas War," and that opens the way for us to consider the matter of what Christian faith can and cannot accomplish. So that will be the topic of  our next class on January 21 at 9:00 am. If you wish to start thinking about our topic in advance, here is the lesson. What Are the Limits on What Christian Faith Can Fix? In the News A recent article on the  Christianity Today  website declared "Christians Can't Fix the Israel-Hamas War." The writer, Bonnie Kristian, the editorial director of books and ideas for that publication, was developing, from a Christian perspective, a point journalist and blogger Matthew Yglesias made as part of a much fuller discussion of the Israel-Hamas conflict* in his  Slow Boring  newsletter. He noted that for some kind of resolution to occur, both Israelis and Palestinians need t...
