Unitarian Universalist of Los Gatos
13/01/09 14:42
We have been invited by the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Los Gatos to speak this Sunday morning - January 17th at their 10:30 service. MOMS volunteers are from a lot of different faith traditions and this diversity is very important to us. Our supporters are Hindus, Moslems, agnostics, Jews, Wiccans, Christians of many flavors, and Native American spirituality.
Most of those who are most involved talk about how this work stems from and feeds their spirituality. Our Islamic friends can talk happily about this with our Jewish, Roman Catholic, and Mennonite friends - and all are in agreement that the core of their religion and the core of their best humanity is actively loving people by meeting their needs with compassion.
We’re looking forward to talking with this group of people and making new friends.

UPDATE: We loved this group of people! They welcomed us warmly, listened attentively, and asked great questions. Several members of the group are making plans for activities this spring - watch for more information.
Thank you UUFLG!!

St Augustine ECW

Today we met with the Episcopal Church Women of St Augustine’s Church in Oakland. What a great group of people (several men attended the meeting as well!).
The folks attending the meeting asked great, incisive questions and were very generous, giving sacks of baby clothes and money. Several of them are interested in going with us to Sierra Leone, which is so exciting for us! Some others have ideas about helping in other ways.
We are very thankful for their graciousness and generous hearts. We’ll be glad to tell the women of Sierra Leone about this good group of people.
