The 363 Group is once again asking for your generosity as we provide Christmas bags for our neighbors at Homeless Alliance and Joe’s Addiction. This year, we need knit hats in neutral colors and hand warmers. Please bring them to the church between now and December 8th, or use our Amazon Wish List and have them shipped directly to the church.
The Handmade Ministry group is also collecting hand-knit scarves for this event. If you enjoy knitting or crocheting, we would be grateful for your contribution. You can put them on the Scarf Tree located just outside the sanctuary. We will have a packing party after church on December 14th, putting together hats, hand warmers, socks, lip balm, and goodies. All are welcome to join the packing elves.

WEBS' new book is The Tears of Things by Richard Rohr
Join WEBS for engaging discussion online and in person on Wednesdays at 5:30pm as they explore The Tears of Things by Richard Rohr.
How do we live compassionately in a time of violence and despair? What can we do with our private disappointments and the anger we feel in such an unjust world? In his most personal book yet, Richard Rohr turns to the writings of the Jewish prophets, revealing how some of the lesser-read books of the Bible offer us a crucial path forward today.
The prophets' writings reflect the full spectrum of human maturity. In almost every case, their initial rage and their accusatory words evolve into a profound pathos and lamentation about our shared human condition and the world's suffering. Through astute critiques of culture and institutions, and their journey from anger to sadness, and ultimately compassion, the prophets exemplify what Rohr calls "sacred criticism"-a distinct approach to confronting evil and injustice that acknowledges the wholeness of history, the interconnectedness of every living being, and the reality of a divine and universal love. In this, they set the stage for Jesus, who follows this identical pattern.
Drawing on a century of biblical scholarship and written in the warm, pastoral voice that has endeared Rohr to millions, The Tears of Things breathes new life into ancient wisdom. It paves a path of enlightenment for anyone seeking a compassionate way of living in a hurting world.
