Free Film Event:
3 ½ Minutes, Ten Bullets
Tuesday, November 13, 6:30 p.m., Parish Hall
In
3 1/2 Minutes Ten Bullets
, two lives intersected and were forever altered. On Black Friday 2012, two cars parked next to each other at a Florida gas station. A white middle-aged male and a black teenager exchanged angry words over the volume of the music in the boy's car. A gun entered the exchange. Thus, began the long journey of unraveling the truth and revealing how hidden racial prejudice can result in tragedy. Light refreshments will be served.
All are welcome to join this important conversation!

Why Evil Exists
Wednesdays, 10:30 a.m.-12 p.m., North Parish Hall
September 19-February 20
Why do humans do evil? What is behind "man's inhumanity to man," the troubling fact of human actions that produce suffering and destruction? Is it ultimately a spiritual or cosmic problem? Is it a consequence of social systems or power structures? Or is it some inner deficit of human nature, lurking in the shadow world of our psychology? Why, in the end, does evil exist? Each class includes a short video followed by discussion. Classes are facilitated by the Rev. Bill Zettinger and Bob Capettini. A free will offering of $5 per month is suggested to pay for snacks and beverages.

Be a Meal Train Volunteer!
There are times in our lives when friends and family ask, "What can I do to help out?" The answer is usually to help them with a meal. When many friends give a meal, this is a Meal Train. As part of our Radical Hospitality, St. Bart's has a Meal Support Ministry. We set up a Meal Train for someone or a family who may need some support. What do you need to do to participate? A willingness to deliver a meal (or meals) to that household and an email address. You will get an email from
meals@stbarschurch.org
with all of the details and instructions. Click on an available date and let the Meal Train know what you are providing. You can deliver a home cooked meal or a meal from a restaurant. If you are interested in volunteering for the Meal Train Ministry, sign up on the patio or contact
meals@stbarschurch.org.

Feeding San Diego is off to a great start and we need you to make it a success! This month alone we've distributed over 1,100 lbs. of food to our neighbors!

If you are able to pick-up food from our local stores (Sprouts or Target) between 8 and 9 a.m. on a Sunday, please email

have a minivan, large SUV, or pick-up truck, please consider taking a run for us - once a quarter, once a month or every week - whatever works for you.
Please stop by the table for flyers to post around town - libraries, schools, community centers - wherever you visit and can to spread the word about the food distribution. Email
