NEXT MEETING ON JULY 22
This group met for the first time last night, but it's not too late to jump in! All are invited to join us on the 2nd and 4th Wednesdays of the month at 7pm, as we gather in small groups at Messiah to listen, learn and understand about racism in our society; how racism has impacted the lives of people who have experienced its effects directly; and to direct our mission of loving God and loving one another to this challenging aspect of our lives. We are reading and discussing the best-selling book So You Want To Talk About Race by Ijeoma Olua.

UPDATE ON MEAL PACKING EVENT
Due to Covid-19 we are unable to host the Meal Packing Event that was originally scheduled in April and recently postponed to August. Thank you to everyone who donated toward this important cause. Rise Against Hunger will reallocate the donations towards meal packaging to support much needed relief and resilience efforts currently underway which may include; sustainable agriculture initiatives, medical aid, or towards one of their economic empowerment programs. Messiah is hoping to host a Meal Packing Event next year. Thank you for making a difference!

This Yorba Linda family has been sharing their big bears for 100 days! They recently celebrated 4th of July and got ready for their vacation. They were picked up on Tuesday by their Ubear ride. We're not sure how long they'll be gone, but it's been a joy to see them for the last 100 days. Follow them on Instagram @lulusbigbears.
