Be in Prayer for our Siblings in Turkey and Syria

Please be in prayer for our siblings who are attempting to recover from the catastrophic earthquake and aftershocks that hit Turkey and Syria. It is always sobering to see the destruction that results from a strong quake. As we live in a quake-prone zone, may we be in prayer for those family who have lost loved ones, over 6000 at this point.

Baseball Fans!

If you’d like to attend the Out at the Park baseball game on April 14th, please touch base with Ryan Kelton (ryanafk@gmail.com). Seats are going fast, so hit him up!

The season is starting soon, and the San Diego Padres (the best team out there) will be hosting the Brewers at Petco Park on April 14th at 6:40pm. 

As a part of their community outreach, they will be hosting Out at the Park, an event that benefits the San Diego LGBTQ+ community. Our own Outreach Board thinks this would be a terrific chance to show our allyship with the community and be a spark of God's light in the world (and you'll get a cool new hat!). 

Blessings from Outreach,

 You did it again!! Our basket of Hope was overflowing with your gift of warmth❤️

Thank You for sharing and caring!!

Your gifts of warm coats will be a much needed blessing.



With gratitude,

The Outreach Ministry

Greetings from Outreach,

  This month Our Mission Offering is for One Great Hour of Sharing. Also know as OGHS. The OGHS offering is one of the 5 mission Offerings that we support as part of our UCC’s Wider Mission Offering.

This year’s them is “ It’s Time to Share”.

 We live in a world in which hunger is widespread. It can be brought on by disaster’s, poverty or fleeing conflict. With our gifts, we can help OGHS to respond to hunger issues, no matter the cause, both locally and globally.

 Our gift will help OGHS partners to provide immediate aid by providing food, water, shelter and compassion during time of distress. Our gifts can also allow families to plant crops, and learn more about sustainable farming. Our gifts help our partners around the world teach about food and nutrition, hygiene, waste management and environmental protection.

There is so much that can be done when we share our gifts.

We can make a difference.

We do make a difference.

Your generosity makes all the difference in the world.



God’s blessings from the

Outreach Ministry
