Caroling and cookies on Wed, Dec 18
Join us on Wed, Dec 18 for Christmas caroling in our neighborhood. We'll meet at 7 pm at the church, then go sing carols for our neighbors (perhaps including the shopping center)! Then we'll come back to the church for cookies and cider. All are welcome. Feel free to invite friends or neighbors.
Yoga potluck on Wed, Dec 18
Celebrate with your mat-mates at the Yoga by Ranya Holiday Potluck. She writes: "Share yoga stories (or non-yoga stories!) while we visit together, listen to Christmas music, break (gluten-free) bread, and drink some tea or eggnog. Bring a dish to share. The holidays are a time to be together and I'd love to see each of your divine faces there." The potluck will be after our 9:15 am restorative yoga class on Wed, Dec 18 (probably starting around 10:45 am).
Volunteer for Home & Hope’s gift wrapping fundraiser
Join members of Many Journeys and College Heights as we wrap gifts at the Stanford Shopping Center. This is the largest fundraiser of the year for Home & Hope, which provides emergency housing for homeless families. We'll wrap gifts that shoppers have purchased, and in return they'll make a donation to Home & Hope. It's a fun and festive way to raise money for a great nonprofit.
We still need volunteers for Dec 16 and 21. Sign up for a volunteer shift
here.
