Dolores Seymour is the ministry liaison for FISH

FISH is in great need of donations of canned food at this time.  The need has increased while donations have decreased.  Support the Post Office canned food drive next weekend!  We also have a bin for donations in the narthex  which is taken to FISH weekly by Dolores Seymour, our ministry team leader for FISH.

ROOM 14 AT THE FAMILY SUPPORT CENTER

In 1989 the Family Support Center opened in the old Santa Rosa General Hospital on A Street behind Santa Rosa Plaza. The Center serves homeless families providing shelter, food, medical screenings, employment and housing counseling. The shelter is supported by 20 churches and local organizations. Our church has maintained and supported Room 14 (originally Room 121 for you old-timers!) since the program’s inception.

Hundreds of individuals and business donors support the center. Other funds come from the city, county, state and United Way. Individual rooms are maintained such as ours with donations and labor provided by the sponsoring organization.

Bob Orr represents Jubilee

This year's Jubilee Sunday will be held April 20 , and will be a very special day! We will be building the service around a special speaker, a special dramatic presentation, and other special elements that will inspire us in our task to overcome the world's poverty through debt forgiveness. This year's Jubilee Sunday comes at a most auspicious moment since the Jubilee Act will come before committee hearings in the House of Representatives and Senate, and hopefully proceed to a vote on the floor of both houses. We will all have an opportunity to show our support as caring citizens and church members by contacting our Congressional representatives to urge them to support this crucial bill—the most important debt legislation in the past 7 years. Come April 20th and be part of a memorable day in the life of our church. It will also be a memorable day in the lives of millions of poverty-stricken people all across the world.
