Bailey Center and Learning Works:
First Sundays of the month:
Non-perishable foods and paper goods collected for Bailey Center & Learning Works. Financial donations also welcome.
| | |

For Bailey Center, non-perishable foods are essential – they are still providing food for around 1,000 people each month. They also can use egg cartons! They receive large flats of eggs and needs egg cartons to put the eggs in for safe distribution and travel. Financial donations can be given as well. Make checks out to CVUMC with Bailey Center indicated in the Memo.
For Learning Works, foods that are easily microwaveable are really helpful. As always, any non-perishable food, paper goods, hand sanitizers, disposable training/pull-up diapers for toddlers, sippy-cups – all are greatly appreciated. Many thanks to you from the students and staff of Learning Works for the donations you have sent them. If making a financial donation, checks can be made out to CVUMC with Learning Works in the Memo. Thank you always for your concern and care for people in our community who are in need.

Walk And Word
You are welcome to join us on Sunday mornings at 8 AM at Deukmejian Wilderness Park for an easy hike and some time reading and pondering Scripture. Here’s how it goes - I am there on every 2nd, 3rd, 4th (sometimes 5th) Sunday at 8 AM in the parking lot at Deukmejian. We walk for an hour and then find a spot to sit and read a selection of scripture. We journal about it for a while and then share our thoughts, many of which are questions. We finish by 10 AM.
We have found that the exercise in the natural setting enhances our openness to receiving wisdom that awaits us in the morning’s passage. We appreciate the different perspectives that unfold with conversation. We would love to hear yours.
If you’re looking for an alternative to the hiking, the park provides wheelchair access and some level areas for walking. Please contact me if you have questions.
Peace,
Jeanne Lavieri
