Fall news. The sermon series (seven of them) will center on Mike Graves' book Jesus' Vision for Your One Wild and Precious Life (on things like Poverty, Hunger, Polarization, Inclusion, and More). There will be copies available in the library too. But right now, I need someone to help coordinate/organize small discussion groups about this book.

Racial Justice Team Update on the 2021 Housing Donation Drive
In December 2021, the Racial Justice Team partnered with the International Institute to organize a Housing Donation Drive to support a newly arrived family from Afghanistan. The Judson congregation was invited to donate new and/or used household items that to set up the new family in a home the International Institute had secured for the family in the Whittier Neighborhood. Judson came through with amazing generosity with dishes, bedding, cookware, cleaning supplies, and more. A group of Racial Justice team members took the supplies to the apartment and set things up to welcome the family to their new home.
Last week, Cory Ertz, the director of the program, reached out with an update on the family, and we thought the Judson community would like to hear how things are going. Thanks again to everyone who supported this family with your donations, time, and energy. It was a great example of our hospitality/social justice core values in action.
